Haha, I might just have to do that. Some more interesting details of his colourful career for you folks: The incident where he was shot occurred when he got out of a hummvee somewhere in Afghanistan.  As the story goes a 13 year old boy with an AK-47 shot him twice on the right side of his...

So here's a little story in progress for you chaps, I'm currently living and working in Kelowna.  I'd been doing day labouring at a site for a couple of days where I met a guy by the name of Corey.  I introduced myself to him and we started working together loading wood into a waste bin.  We get...

G'day chaps, Been a while but here's where everything is at.  I'm now traveling in Canada (living in Kelowna for the summer) and making inquiries with one of the SAR guys.  Still looking at moving here and being a firefighter for a few years until I am eligible to enlist.

Cheers, will do.  I'm not sure who would be best to talk to but I'll pass it up the CoC.  If they can facilitate a transfer chances are I'll still do my 2 years travel then reinlist back in the NZ Army then swap over to the CF.

That adds a couple more years to that estimate.  Do you know of any Kiwis that have joined?

G'day all, Just thought I'd have an ask around to see if anyone here might be able to shed a little light on my situation. I've served as a medic in the New Zealand Army for the last 2 1/2 years.  At the moment I'm looking at joining the CF and becoming a SARTech, mainly because I want to make...
