I know Anzac Day has passed but I'm a soldier myself, I found this and It was pretty good.
Anzac Day tips for the younger generation...
1: REMEMBER THE DAY. This isn't your Boozer, this isn't your 21st birthday, this isn't your bucks night. Don't be a dickhead. Don't rock up to your Dawn service in a Purple suit, don't bring your Mrs if she's going to wear a skin tight dress that lets everyone see what she had for breakfast. It's a day of Rememberance, whether it be our forefathers from all the conflicts before, or our brothers who gave their life in the recent conflict. It's a day for them, not us.
2: Mates don't let mates drink alone. Stay with your mates. Too many times I've seen a Digger sitting alone in a gutter all suited up, with no friends in sight. That shit is not on. It's an emotional day for some, and there's no way in fuck any of us need to do it alone. You never know how much they might need it. The only person who might be drinking alone is that Old Dig down at the RSL, which leads onto...
3: Buy an old Digger a beer. Let him talk your ear off, more than likely he'll want to hear about your life. Talk smack with him, have a few beers. It'll probably make his whole week.
4: We're all on the same side: Army, Air Force, Navy, old school, junior, we're all on the same team. Anzac Day is about them all. Don't be running your mouth at someone just because their Aussie flag is a different colour. At the end of the Day, we all signed the blank cheque.
5: Have a good time. Enjoy yourself, catch up with a mate who you haven't seen in a while. Go to the Dawn Service, Have a Gunfire Breakfast. Play two up. Message a mate who you haven't seen in a while. Go out in your best looking Lowes suit. Enjoy all of our Traditions, old and New.
