As an Australian I have great respect for our Kiwi brothers. Such a great country full of many warriors. One day hopefully we’ll string together a team that can beat them in the Rugby.

[@honawikeepa5813]

Awesome. My father was Maori Battalion and my brother Victor 6 in Vietnam. I signed up and my father said no and I became a reluctant Diesel mechanic. If I had my life over again, I would join the military. How tough are they. God defend NZ.

[@heywoodjerbloume]

Maori Battalion one bloody tough bunch of guys.Scared the hell out of the Germans.Be very proud of your Dad.

[@christopherhunt9078]

NZ Maori have their share of societal problems. Some of which is referenced in this documentary series. For example while the Polynesian population of NZ is roughly 20 percent of NZ's 5.1 million population, about half the NZ prisoners are Maori. However, there are also successes. International sports (football, athletics and boxing are just three) of them. Another one of them is that of the NZ armed forces about half are Maori (well above their portion of the NZ population. Not just NZ Maori but Cook Islanders, Samoans and Nuienans). Not just the NZ Army, but Royal New Zealand Navy and RNZAF. The NZ Police too. Yes, they are fairly secure jobs with a pension on completing of long service. Every Polynesian is his or her own individual, of course. Simple. I do not wish to stereotype. But I think many Maori and Polynesians are, in some respects, quite identified with their own tribe (iwi), tradiotional lands and so on, and they welcome that feeling of inclusion and common purpose within the NZ Armed Forces and Police. Many also learn valuable technical skills, just as a good Maori friend of my youth who went into NZ Army aged 16 and qualified (5 years later) after his Army apprenticeship as a mechanic.

[@christopherhunt9078]

@Mr Morehead, IIRC, the 28th (Maori) Battalion was raised initially from four companies (so perhaps 140 or so in each company) raised on tribal (iwi) basis ; three from the North Island another from the South Island. As there were almost no qualified Maori officers, the officers were white There are accounts of the Maori Battalion prior to an attack n German lines in North Africa (plus later in Italy) performing a mass haka. I have seen the haka performed by a couple of hundred teenagers. Various events. Sports and others. The ground itself shook. Goodness knows what German soldiers thought was in store. (Incidentally, IIRC, the regular opponents of the Maori and the NZ II Division was the German 90th Light Regiment. By the time the 90th was sent to North Africa after the Allied withdrawal few of the original veterans had survived. Many were killed by Kiwis, on Crete, not least Maori. Perhaps was the most famous was the Battle of 42nd Street on Crete. Being pursued by the Germans, the NZers organised a composite rearguard. Pakeka, Maori, Australians, British, Greeks and Cretans. They fixed bayonets, turned back upon the Germans and attacked. Inspired by the impromptu haka. Some Cretans had no military weapons so they went in with their shotguns or farm implements such as sythes. There are accounts that amoung the charging composite force were Cretan women carrying knives and so on.

[@andrewcombe8907]

I’m impressed the training staff did this without unnecessarily screaming. The stuff I saw in the ADF was horrendous.

[@jeniastrid]

You only see a slice of what Basic is like. This is also just the beginning. They have their specilist training after which is much tougher. Also the psychology behind how NZ train their troops is different than America and other countries. It has been proven that just screaming at people and 'breaking' them does a good soldier not make. It's alot about self discipline and self motivation. You can't compare each countries basic to each other. Also remember NZ army has saved alot of US, Australian and UK forces in combine battles in the past. They may train different but NZ soldiers are highly respected and sought after. Also the SAS soldiers come from the military to start with. They are in huge demand by many. The US have called them up for their help many times.

[@MCshadr217]

Not to mention, most of these guys actually applied for the SAS. Meaning, they're training them up, just to be able to attempt the selection process. Shit's crazy. Basically, their basic, whilst not shown on Camera, will probably be slightly tougher than most.

The training is about right for our NZ recruits. We primarily do peace keeping and reconstruction work. Not that we're not up for a good scrap, our old soldiers have proven we can foot it with the best. If required these the next generation would step up also but our weak willed politicians only send us to soft spots around the globe and rarely into the fire fight.

[@flowerpower8722]

I've a lot of regard for Winitana. Very tough with excellent values. I hope she does well. The army would be silly to let her go.

[@deejin25]

People seem to be talking a lot of junk about this but they train hard in snow and rain, and their PT test is harder than the basic Marine PFT (this is their basic bootcamp), more like actual combat tasks, and the standards for men and women are the same (unlike any branch of service in the US) . That's impressive as fuck. The other episodes shows them stressing initiative and they develop an incredible esprit de corps, especially with that Hakka! I see far less emphasis on screaming and micromanaging them, but his performance standards especially in their fitness test, at eight months. For a simple integrated basic training program it works, though counterintuitively. I do see that unlike our military these people don't intend to invade anyone else or interfere in any other country to any real extent. Which is a good thing because our foreign policy seems to take more than it gives to the country.

[@Daniel-fo2qf]

Asthma attack? I applied to join when I left school and was unsuccessful due to disclosing that I had asthma. I had to take a Hypertonic saline challenge at the hospital to prove that it was under control and I was ok to go on basic training. Lost interest as the application process took so long and found a job instead.

[@marylandflyer5670]

The most important messaging in this training is in the early minutes when the drill instructor explains why the recruits need to be fit: they need to be able to carry their gear, move over distances, fight, and be able to help their comrades. Sometimes US forces don’t make clear why recruits are doing what they are doing.
