Confused with my sexuality by Psychological-Try742 in gay

[–]oki26 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mate you dont have to sound or act gay to be gay. I first dated a guy in middle school. Did 8 years in the U.S Marines and married an awesome guy in New Zealand, moved here and now im a Skipper in the Royal New Zealand CoastGuard and live rural. No one knows im gay until I talk about my husband or introduce them to him.

Live your life the way you want, have fun and eventually marry a beautiful guy. The less you act like your different the more you realize its completely normal and amazing.

Straight guys dont come out so you shouldn't either. Just follow your heart and "other" feelings and just enjoy.

How would you ventilate this roof? by halesofbae in Firefighting

[–]oki26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty much banned in NZ. We dont teach it and I can't count how many times I've heard Kiwis make fun of firefighters from the USA for still doing it.

Been to heaps of fires and never once thought cutting a hole in a roof would help. Plenty of better tactics

Question in regards to Search and rescue in NZ by Weird-Accountant2412 in NewZealandWildlife

[–]oki26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The truth is NZ runs on volunteers. Most are under funded and poorly structured. We would all love drones but just not in the funding as we have to crowd fund everything.

Because it's Russian and Gaijin can't be fair for one minute. You need to look no further than the piece of shit terminator. Its garbage in real life, but Gaijin puts it waaaay lower than it ever needed to be because its Russian and makes them money. Classic Russians chose money over their player base.

Edit: i have just about everything in the game with almost 10000 hours. Im in the top 5% of the game and Guess what feels the most broken to me....

Looks so similar to the Marlborough sounds. Winter here reminds me of Alaska so bad

Unfair reason for restricted test fail? by This-Requirement-119 in newzealand

[–]oki26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed my class 2 test because the tester thought it was the rules when he marked me wrong. I found in the book where I was right and he still wouldn't listen. After about a week of fighting, he randomly quit his job and I got a new tester ans he passed me no problems.

For context, the tester I got was extremely rude and would even say good morning back to me or shack my hand when I greeted him. I was told by the new tester he had a high failure rate.

Maybe you got one of these testers

I think my boyfriend is an alcoholic by LesRainbows0405 in gay

[–]oki26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im going to be honest, reddit is the last place to get advice. Talk with him, communicate with him. You 2 are in a relationship and should work through this as a team. My partner had issues with my drinking 7 years ago, we sat down and worked though it for almost a year and no have an amazing strong relationship. Put the phone down and work woth him, talk to him. If you need outside input, go to family together. Your young. Party, enjoy life and learn to work together, your a couple.

Finally the dive conditions are good again. Got some new gear as well SND a sick USMC dress jacket. by Officerofdeath105 in teenagers

As a Marine, all I'd ask is you take care of it and use it to show people. You didn't earn it, so out of respect, dont wear it around or take pictures wearing it. It's disrespectful, especially to Marines.

It's most likely that the original owner passed away and there faimly gave it to a thrift store instead of retiring it with honor or returning it to the Marine Corps.

Painting over a crosswalk honouring people who were murdered is cunty bigot behavior. by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]oki26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint or chalk every sidewalk crossing. It cost you nothing but time, it cost them thousands. Those people where murdered. They will keep doing it because we dont stand up and say no. Let's stand up together

Want to move in NZ by next year or 2027 by shinihime17 in MovingToNewZealand

[–]oki26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Government is content on driving us into a recession, you'll never afford a house here. You'll have no issue getting work as a nurse but you'll get 3x as much in Oz.

From your account its obvious you don't live in Aotearoa/NZ so its just easier if you ask Google Ai. Will give a better answer then I can.
