"Not one day that we are here on this earth has been promised to us, so make the most of every day as if it was your last, and every breath ,as if it were the same"
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

I signed up in Auckland through that dodgey little office (for induction), did about 3 days in Waiouru with the usual - "This is what to expect" jabber and OSH crap. Found out FRED's make crap shivs. Then went home. About 5 days after signing up a friend of mine got called out to Papa New Savage (or whatever) and told me to get out. When the army called me to ask if i wanted in or not i told them the induction was fun but no.
Kinda sucks though as it would have made things a shit load easier in my life. Classic, if i'd have known then what i know now....blah blah blah.
So yeh i'm basically a washout.

Hey guys, sorry to cut in on this convo, I have another question to ask.
A few of you said similar things to this:
This may be a stupid question, but how do you know if it's your kind of lifestyle before you go and join up? I mean what exactly is the lifestyle past basic training? Can't word it right, hope someone understands what I'm trying to get at. I spose I mean in relation to civilian life.
Go to a intorduction day. Ring your local recruitmant office and ask them when the next one is.
Its a much more disciplined lifestyle. Not in the way that you expect everyone walks around with a stiff back and trembles incase something goes wrong, but the sort that there is no getting away with things with a lame excuse. "Oh I was tired" or "I didn't know" dont cut it. Its big shock to the system, basically your life is spelt out to you from day one and if you don't like it.... Tough...... they dont have time for you to write a letter and tell them whats bugging you and how it could be fixed, they expect you to get over it and move forward. Once you get into the hang of it, you do actually start to enjoy yourself, but always remember, there is no middleground, you get two choices and thats it.
Apparently the airforce is more easy going though.
You get my PM?

Three quotes
1. "It is better to have thought about it and tried, than to thought about and not tried at all".
2. It's all about "Hurry up and wait"
3.It's about "Marching round n round the square"
You have to face the challenge it may not be you but unless you try it you will never know. I think thats where the "Wannabe" tag comes from. Those who haven't tried the challenge believe that it's like Hollywood. Those who have met the challenge, are able to differentiate, the difference. F.ck this this is too much I'm off to do the Monkey, don't have to worry about Hitcher and my gramma.
