    Welcome. Are the last six letters of your forum handle your surname? I served in Singapore with a Corporal in Singapore (73 - 75) with that surname. He lost his right arm while over there.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It certainly isn’t. This is probably the first time that I can recall hearing (seeing) it since way back then.

    Kia ora

    awesome

    yes , I am a komene , my surname comes from up north , marae is Taheke there. My late father ( hemi / james ) moved south as a young fella with my grandparents ( Tom and Ma ) and they eventually ended in Tekuiti as the grandfather was on the railway. Then moved a little more south to Taumarunui where they both settled and saw the rest of their living days out. Dads house is still in Owhango there where i am hoping to do up in the near future !!!!
