Are you realy prepared to shoot and get shot at?

Think hard
Think again

Start issuing KTMs like some of the euro armed forces & you might get a few more starters from the adv community

The marines use KLR 650's which means because they are bigger they are faster.

Sounds like fun to me. but 20 odd days a year is a pretty big time commitment.

I didnt know we had so many wimps on this board.
I guess it reflects the moral standing of NZ at this time.
This is an oppotunity that if I was 30 years younger would jump at.
Get shot at ??? foot soldiers are the safest part of a modern army.
The oppotunity to get all you licances, plus the BIG added plus of being a teritorial added to your list of qualifications when job hunting is hard to beat.
As an employer in the past, an applicant for a job with any army training went instantly into the " demands a second look pile" when sifting job aplicants.
The respect, disapline and mates for life you get alone are worth the effert.

But then it is well known that anything north of the bombay hill is a pussy

And its not just putting 'TF' on your quals, with the new NZQA system coming into effect this year, you can get accredited recognised qualifications in your speciality.

Those 20 days can be made up of any type of training, be it through weekends, courses, or other training (driver training, ANZAC Day, etc.) Really depends on what suits your timetable best.
