    Did 9 years in the RAF and 5 in the RNZAF left as a SGT photographer. Would have stayed but things were never the same after the disbandment of 75 and 14 Sqn.

    Worked for the NZ Army for a year as the Data Communications Engineer.

    Sergeants used to call me sir until they found out I had to work for a living. Then they made me buy them beer.

    Dagnabbit, I knew I got that wrong.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Nope. Was a diver with no boat, so joined the RNZNVR......just so happened on weekend exercises, with the right (diving) skipper, it was more like a dive cruise weekend...."checking" various areas like scallop beds and cray spots, to "ensure the viability of the resources"

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
