Thread: Gidday from Wellington

Ah awesome. This bunch looks great already! I was once on an NZ forum and when I went back home for my Dad's wedding, I met up with one of the old Canadian dudes on the forum at Vancouver Airport! It was great to have someone help me out seeing as there was so much construction going on there at that time and I was young and travelling on my own. (FYI a cop from Canterbury had previously visited this guy )

Because we make a less conspicuous target

More danger pay for me!

Also, slightly off topic, but if you haven't already, go read Generation Kill by Evan Wright. Amazing book eh, I fell in love with those guys. You really feel like they are your brothers. Alternatively if you wish, watch the series. (Doing both is better though! Reading first of course.)

Not a bad series alright. They are a different breed all together from the us as far a soldiering goes though. All geared up and money is no object.

I hear the yanks just toss away spent mags!

Yup! and weapons on some occasions.
