Me too mate! They are being a pain in the **** about it all too...
Singled out for destruction is going to be my weekly catchphrase.
Red Command NZ : Yeah sure are. I was told I'd have a reply by
Friday. Nothing. It's been weeks since I sent the information in.
Welcome to the government more particularly defence. The stories I've heard about delays and paperwork...
I have a mate who did his basic then turned up to his unit after only to
be told "we didn't know you were coming let alone that they'd even
recruited anyone..."
Because the recruiters hardly see the potential recruits everything else is done by a 'coordinator' who is a civi.....
Stupid system if you ask me. At least before they changed it the
recruiters kinda got to know the potential recruits during the process.
Ah well fingers crossed.
Losing paperwork or not getting a letter in a timely fashion will
mean nothing to you about two and a half minutes after you drive
through the gates at WTD.
Trust me you'll have other things to worry about.

Speaking of recruiting who decided it was a good idea to let an ad
company have almost carte blanche control over the advertising content?
Mate I reckon its mainly because they are no longer recruiting
rural and semi-rural blue collar type kids who's only other job prospect
was a Freezing Works or Pulp Mill (like I was sort of.)
They need to target the first generation or so thats coming of age who
were shut ins that grew up playing XBox and Playstation and are allergic
to fresh air. Hugely generalised they are more intelligent have a
micro-second attention span and are far more inter-connected to the
World than I ever was.
The whole 'Tomb Raider' clone ads are a response to that. Whatever
works I guess. Society changes so the forces have to adapt or die just
like everyone else. Watching clips of our current end product though
shows me the qualities are still the same and we seem to be turning out
service members as fine as any before them so they must be doing
something right during the baking process.
BP72Mate I reckon its mainly because they are no longer

My advice is to stick with it guys had family just get in after about
12-18 month recruitment (the system change during his period)
Interesting that for the non-tripod mounted minimi they're
insisting on fixed stock only. I would have thought having the para
stock on there would be preferable?
Yeah I was talking mainly in response to Zorro's comment.
Probably should have clarified a bit better. I doubt the regions have
changed. My point was the kids these days are a hell of a lot more tech
savvy going in than I ever was so I would imagine they have to appeal
to them in a similar fashion to every other distraction they have.
I probably should have clarified myself I was thinking of the
latest air force run in particular with the model you move around
through your PC. Who does driving a forklift around appeal to?

The tripods are a task specific accessory. Not for mounting full time like SFMG.

The 17th Annual Canadian International Sniper Concentration is an
excellent opportunity for teams from Canada’s land forces as well allied
and police snipers to further develop capabilities related to
sniper-specific skill sets. This is achieved by focusing on the
operational experience and lessons learned by Canada and its allies to
create esprit de corps to develop healthy competition and to generate
discussion about ways to improve sniper skills-sets for all parties
involved
