| | G'Day infoI'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 the forums bruv.  "The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental." - John Steinbeck |

I have heard him speak of the Ireland he wished to see. When he struck the spark on the anvil, he struck the anvil in my heart. When I leave school, the only pursuit I want to engage in is the winning of the freedom of my country. Michael Collins |

Welcome and good advice.

 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.  | |
