  I don't think got red turban....its just funny...no offence.
  
  but for practical reason...can you imagine a turbanned commando doing FIBUA, demolition, special operations, counter-terrorism...etc. the enemy will laugh till he flip....or his turban might kena "headshot" from afar.

  I don't have experience in wallaby but i don't think the condition can be that bad. If there is problems with the water in the way you describe means its hard water therefore alot of Mg and Ca ions dissolved in it. As a chemist even if the water is hard theres a way to reduce the hardness simply but for army i have no idea what they do but i don't think they will do nothing if its that bad.
  
  How old are you? Somehow the langauge used makes me feel its childish or am i just over sensitive?
