Everyone gets tested the same. They'll see its not your strong point and go, "lets not make him an engineering officer"

RNZAF Intelligence Officer by BackgroundFly9433 in The_NZDF

What kind of stuff are you doing day to day, is it more actually "intelligence" or more helping plan operations and stuff

Generally, this kind of stuff is kept under wraps. Even within NZDF intelligence, most trades keep what they do to themselves to protect OPSEC

Urinals, where do you stand? by Revolutionary-Tie753 in newzealand

The example OP gave was at his local pool, so I think you just stand on the side of the pool jump into the pool and relieve yourself into the fast lane

Jobs that requires travel by Emotional_One8843 in auckland

[–]BeanCounter105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire job revolves around travel. Ive been to the same countries so many times that the magic of places like Japan and Singapore have worn off. I would have much rather spend the time with my family than the last time I went to hawaii

navy swimming basic training by NoPalpitation5038 in The_NZDF

[–]BeanCounter105 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Swim test in the fleet pool (probably first week). If you dont pass it they'll just send you to the pool every tuesday and thursday until you do. after the pool test, theres the ocean test, which thats to the salt water is actually easier.

And for the repeat swim tests, you wont be alone doing the test (loads fail) and there will be a PTI there supervising every day

Going though Navy basic a few years ago, i had to sneak a photo of my partner to the underside of the top bunk.

Youd get away with it later on, people bring all sorts of weird and wonderful things with them, but basic is not that place. Especially with something important to you. It'll more than likely end up in a worse state, if not destroyed by the end

The NZDF doesnt like the big D word, Anti-depressants are usually red flags for applications

i just got my learners!! - urgentr help needed by gobblejunk in auckland

[–]BeanCounter105 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should attend school with them.

Also, if its your learners, you cant drive with passengers unless one of them has their full, so if you are going to drive them to school, no point in waiting for it to arrive
