"Quintus Rama is the first mascot which exclusively represents 5 RAR since the delinking of the 5 th and 7 th Battalions," LTCOL Forbes said. CO 5 RAR LTCOL Andrew Forbes said Quintus Rama was a welcome addition and heralded a new era. He described the new recruit, who carries the PMKeys number of 8555555, as an individual with a "high level of aggression and personal fitness". Escorted to the event at the Gary Holmes club by handlers from Crocodylus Park, Quintus Rama's course report from the School of Infantry was read to the unit by 5 RAR RSM WO1 Dale de Kock. He fills the position left vacant with the death of the unit's previous mascot, Quintus Septimus Sabre, who passed away in December 2010. Quintus Rama enlisted on September 27 as mascot for the unit known as the ‘Tiger Battalion’.
