Less beer—at least in the field. And also a greater variety of first names. It does no good for the platoon to yell in the heat of combat “Bruce, get down there and put some fire on their flank!” and have the whole platoon up and move. Or “Bruce, give us a tinny!” and get hit in the head with 30 cans of whatever Aussie infantry really drink instead of Fosters.

Less of an unwholesome fixation on horses.
