Downstairs we didn’t make it out the foyer without guests asking for holo images for their kids back home. The clerk said it wasn’t the strangest thing he’d seen in a motel reception (his last deployment must have been in Mos Eisely) After a short wait to cross the road, We arrived to find many locals assembled, enjoying the free snags on the BBQ and other breakfast treats donated for the effort

Nihilus resorted to aggressive negotiations with TK, much to the delight of the crowd.

The official from Guiness World Records had his folder and clicker to make sure everything was done right (he saw the troops and bolted off in mid discussion to have his photo taken with them, leaving the event staff standing there with no idea what to make of it all)

The Australian Army troops assured us they fully support future joint exercises with Imperial troops

Even Queensland State of Origin Legend Jason Hetherington showed his support..

And then it was time to do the high fives, Nihilus found a very small local, with an even smaller teddy bear to warm up the high fiving muscles Hi5

Which took a while, it was a long line of high fivers…

In the end, high fives Hi5 were exchanged, and a new Australian Record was set!!! Mission Success!!! Doppeldaumen1

We can now officially say we’re record setting Redbacks! Peace

This was a pretty short notice troop, as not many of us listen to the radio during the day, it was only by chance we saw a TV ad during the Origin about it, but the Sea FM crew were really cool with having us come down to join in the fun. We were only around 30 or so people short of breaking the world record and we’ve already been invited back for the next attempt Jig

That's got to be one of the fastest posting of troop reports ever.
Thanks to Stormybrite for the most awesome dressing room ever.
Huge thanks to JOker for wrangling.

Three troops in three days, one down, two to go troopers.

Hmmm Cav, I'm not a hard core Sandy .... yet. Three troops is still pretty full on. I think my TK might stay shiny for a bit long before I wreck it .... um I mean "upgrade" it to a Sandy.

Oh I think the money raised on this one got upgraded, can someone confirm please.
