    Crunchies......... In Englandicon the Infantry soldiers in the Battalion were called Squaddies but in Australiaicon there were two distinct categories. There were the Nashos who were the National Servicemen and the Crunchies who were regulars - the same as the UK Squaddies. The crunchies didn't like being called Nashos so everyone was a crunchie and when I got back to the UK, the name stuck. Or something like that. But all GREAT blokes none the less.
