A small amount of the Junior Recruits 41st Intake (7 in total) met again after 38 years at the 50th Junior Recruits Reunion held in Perth in July 2010.     We had a ball, drank heaps, reminisced to our hearts content, and definately didn’t want things to finish.   We decided that we have been pretty slack in keeping in contact and that maybe we should do something about this.

So a decision was made for all of us that are still traversing the land to get together on 9th October 2012 to celebrate our 40th Anniversary of joining the RAN (format, venue and details to be sorted out after we find the missing band of brothers).

If you were part of that  Rascally Band of JRs that shared the unfortunate (or fortunate) description of “41st Intake”, and you would like to be part of the 2012 get-together, please contact Rick (Dick) Allen – ph (03) 62546196, or email mobilesaddler@activ8.net.au.

Progress update

Since the search began, we have grown from the original 7 who got together at the 50th JR Reunion in Perth July last year, to a grand total of 24 (including myself) so far – not bad, but we aint finished yet!     The search continues to find as many of our shipmates from that band of brothers known as the 41st Intake at Leeuwin.   40th Reunion planned for on and around 9th October 2012 (details to be provided nearer the time).
