Now this was possibly my greatest achievement ,consider this at the time I was employed as a beach inspector at Scarborough Wombarra beach for the 1965-1966 season when I was called up for national service, on this certificate you can see I was called up on the 2/2/1966 right in the middle of the heaviest fighting of the Vietnam war ,who knows what might have happened to me ,I may have been killed in the battle for Lon Tan ,or suffered the mental effects of war for the rest of my life ,i considered myself to be the luckiest person alive that day as who would want to leave a job like mine and go fight a war in a country that I didn't even know where it was
This is my certificate of appointment as a beach inspector, photo above and below 1965--1966 season
