NZ Army/Airforce training exposed!

[@dumbalek6001]

I love Rhys's "young Rhys" impression. It's so adorable my girlfriend and I just keep saying "bullets bullets bullets" in this voice to eachother randomly at least once a day.

Have you guys considered he pulls off the tight pants incredibly well?? My man has legs for days and calves for the gods…

We did “bullets bullets bullets” in the US Army, too. And “simulated kill”.

[@zacandmillie]

Early days in my army career in the mid 90s we'd yell 'Buckets of bullets, buckets of bullets' when we were carrying the machine gun

Yeah my mate was in the RNZAF, they couldn't afford to train them with actual helicopters so they made the recruits wave their hands in a circle going 'chkachkachkachka' mimicking the sound of a real helicopter while the instructor trained them lmfao.

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

I love how all of these new Zealand army training scenarios may as well have no simulation and instead have you do it in your head but for some reason they chose the most comical way to do it

[@DinoPimp]

I love how hopelessly low budget New Zealand used to be. I work with quite a few old buggers who are ex NZ Army, and I seem to recall a couple of them saying how farcical it could be at times. Oodly enough those who served during that time and made it to their pension date got a better deal than those who are entering the military now.

​@officerbarbrady3975wait, when?!

[@nzgunnie]

To be fair, the Skyhawks were purchased new in 1970, and Hobsonville didn't have tarmack, it was a grass airfield. However I've also run around with a steyr yelling bullets, bullets, bullets.

[@johntavish8750]

Also true for the French Army, back in 2008 I use to shout a lot of "BRATATATATATATA PEW PEW PEW". Yep. Fun times.

[@efnissien]

The bit about the NZ army running out of money because of the Steyr AUG isn't unusual, Ireland bought the Steyr too and ehhh, yeah well, ummmmm. Oh and am I the only person who's intrigued by the irony of the New Zealand airforce having a Kiwi as it's symbol, yeah I get 'Kiwi' as the nickname for New Zealanders but a Flightless bird for the airforce?

[@EuroGuy85]

to mimic their flightless planes bro 😂

[@sarahday6016]

[@Apis4]

I'm pretty sure the Skyhawks came from the Australian Air Force, when the Australian Navy decided to decommission the HMAS Melbourne (the aircraft carrier they were used on), and no longer had need for them (Australian Government had just signed a deal to buy a ton of F18s, so even if they replaced the Melbourne ...which they were not sure about, they had better planes for any future carrier). I think the plan initially, was simply to canvas wrap them, and bury them, just like they eventually did with their squadron of F111's, but then New Zealand put their hand up and said they could take them off our hands, and the Australian Government was like "Bonza, not our problem now" I think it was field guns the NZ Army salvaged from the sea.

[@skuney4851]

i think the nz army in the 90s was just a dance camp

[@gloriadevilliers2900]

Yup, bullets bullets bullets for the steyer and banana banana banana for the light support weapon...

[@colonelkurtz2269]

The A4 Skyhawk was developed in the 50s to replace the prop Douglas Skyraider. It was an ground attack jet and also had a nuclear mission.

[@MattDawson01]

I've heard the story about the source of the sky hawks before, but it was actually the source of our artillery pieces. Story goes, at the end of WW2 USA was dumping m101 105mm howitzers in the Mississippi and NZ came and pulled them out and took them home. Bound to be an element of truth in it somewhere. Great story about bullets bullets bullets, was still doing it in '99, takes me back.
