Post; G'Day


Evening.

I'm a fifteen year veteran of the New Zealand Army and a Rifleman by trade.

My main reason for being here is to learn so I don't usually reply much.

I don't suffer fools easily and I lean to the brutal side of honesty, but I'm not so bad once you get to know me.

I'm happy to answer questions regarding the NZDF as long as it doesn't entail breaking OPSEC.

Keep your expectations low and you'll rarely be disappointed.

Welcome aboard mate. I like your quote - it fits me to a "T". I also have problems with fools and it has gotten me in trouble a time or two.

SUGGESTION: Keep your guard up and come out swinging - something (someone) will fall eventually.
