[@colinjarvis6142]

For NZ Defence Force Recruiters they don't seem to know a lot of Details? i.e How many in the Defence Force? Also he said if you have a criminal record you can't get in! (is that because the NZDF is a peaceful organization and don't want anybody who is violent or has been in a fight??)

[@Id3ntify1]

Their dealing with dangerous equipment daily, if somebody who's violent and potentially mentally unstable, would you want to hand them a gun and trust nothing happens in their life to make them flip out? You can't get a gun license if you've got a Violent history cause you can't be trusted

[@colinjarvis6142]

@@Id3ntify1 You must have lead a very sheltered life! I was in the Army and there were several Phyco's and a number of violent people in my unit they were issued Firearms and worked with Dangerous equipment!

@@Id3ntify1 I hate to shock you but having served in the Army and the Air Force I know some of these people were never in the trouble before joining so no record and some of them are not completely 'Honest' when applying I also know of instances of Airmen and soldiers (even officers) actually telling lies!

not gonna lie, host was kinda wack

[@zaynevanday142]

New Zealand 🇳🇿 don’t have any tanks anymore our last Tank was the CVT Scorpion LAVs are not Tanks

[@tonynomikos3702]

The nz military really needs to boost their numbers

[@haroldsmith8454]

Scorpion was hardly a tank..... pretty sure the M60 bulldogs were the last actually tanks.

[@aceforeign537]

The recruiters need to come back into awareness and give accurate insight, also they don't really give detailed answers that will be helpful for potential recruits to understand before they apply. The interviewer is asking questions that anyone looking to join the NZDF will have thoughts about, no harm in answering him. Like he kept saying to them "I don't know, that's why I'm asking yous". He's already done his research but the insider of what happens actually within the defence force, how the hell is he suppose to know that's why he's asking.

[@zaynevanday142]

We were there when Ruapehu Erupted in 1996

[@rickness1706]

If you do the recruiting test on line can print it out to study it up. You could get someone to do the recruiting test for you. Been on Google you can do all of the practice test with the the answers. So keep them when you do the recruiting test you could just use the the m or just study the answers. Yeah why don't the Army just do what other companies do. Even the army don't recognise the LSV course and they recruit straight from LSV. I know someone who went to the LSV course past that did a pollytech course and that didn't boost his test mark

[@zaynevanday142]

I knew a Glen Lusty in the NZDF he died in a motor accident in the South Island

[@kauriwilson9712]

Okay I think I will be fine for verbal and physical but im worried about maths :( and advanced maths. I'm not good. But you might see me there however the candidate pool goes.
