Hello. Hearing you are from taumarunui. I am listening to you while in taumarunui. So cool cause I will definitely be an applicant joining the army reserve and hope I'm eligible when CEF looks through it
For NZ Defence Force Recruiters they don't seem to know a lot of Details? i.e How many in the Defence Force? Also he said if you have a criminal record you can't get in! (is that because the NZDF is a peaceful organization and don't want anybody who is violent or has been in a fight??)
Their dealing with dangerous equipment daily, if somebody who's violent and potentially mentally unstable, would you want to hand them a gun and trust nothing happens in their life to make them flip out? You can't get a gun license if you've got a Violent history cause you can't be trusted
@@Id3ntify1 You must have lead a very sheltered life! I was in the Army and there were several Phyco's and a number of violent people in my unit they were issued Firearms and worked with Dangerous equipment!
@@colinjarvis6142 well here's the thing I've been told from an ex Major and ex Sargeant and an ex Corporal in the NZDF the same thing I said, that's why I believe what I say. We're these psychos you speak of, allgoods on Paper? How did they pass their background checks?
@@colinjarvis6142 you can't get in if your a registered psycho.. I personally know somebody who has been turned down by the NZDF due to a violent history..
@@Id3ntify1 I hate to shock you but having served in the Army and the Air Force I know some of these people were never in the trouble before joining so no record and some of them are not completely 'Honest' when applying I also know of instances of Airmen and soldiers (even officers) actually telling lies!
If you do the recruiting test on line can print it out to study it up. You could get someone to do the recruiting test for you. Been on Google you can do all of the practice test with the the answers. So keep them when you do the recruiting test you could just use the the m or just study the answers. Yeah why don't the Army just do what other companies do. Even the army don't recognise the LSV course and they recruit straight from LSV. I know someone who went to the LSV course past that did a pollytech course and that didn't boost his test mark
The recruiters need to come back into awareness and give accurate insight, also they don't really give detailed answers that will be helpful for potential recruits to understand before they apply. The interviewer is asking questions that anyone looking to join the NZDF will have thoughts about, no harm in answering him. Like he kept saying to them "I don't know, that's why I'm asking yous". He's already done his research but the insider of what happens actually within the defence force, how the hell is he suppose to know that's why he's asking.
Okay I think I will be fine for verbal and physical but im worried about maths :( and advanced maths. I'm not good. But you might see me there however the candidate pool goes.
@@johnabernethy1902 they don’t tell you your percentage regardless of a pass or fail, just don’t overthink it, it’s important to answer every question even if it’s a guess as you can lose points for questions not answered. You’ll be right mate.

If I remember correctly that lady on the right won the driver of the year annual comp or place there about so much knowledge when it comes to logistics
Recruiting turn away plenty of great recruits every year Written and physical tests don’t sort anyone out Basic Training sorts that out Lier may more males are recruited lol 😂 Weak response

Do not volunteer any kind of negative information to recruiting medical or otherwise it’s their job to find out do not give them reasons to reject you

New Zealand 🇳🇿 don’t have any tanks anymore our last Tank was the CVT Scorpion
LAVs are not Tanks
The nz military really needs to boost their numbers
Scorpion was hardly a tank.....
pretty sure the M60 bulldogs were the last actually tanks.
We were there when Ruapehu Erupted in 1996

I enlisted back in 2017 for the military police and infantry trade of service but unfortunately never made it
Hey, I'm looking to join MP. I know you didnt make it, but you probably know a lot more than I do about MP.
Do MP go to Civilian emergencies?
@@Liam-h3x8h okey thank for your question
@@Liam-h3x8h military police service is basically
A law enforcement organisation that works with both the military and civilian law enforcement
Meaning that within the military let’s say for example
A fight breaks out with two regular soldiers in the military base
You have to apprehend those soldiers
As an MP
Also you have to assist civilian law enforcement with investigations of criminal activities in the civilian areas of New Zealand 🇳🇿
@@Liam-h3x8h yes they are also in collaboration with other external organisations like nz police, nz fire station and St. John ambulance
I knew a Glen Lusty in the NZDF he died in a motor accident in the South Island
not gonna lie, host was kinda wack
How do you get your army recruiter I want to Join NZ army next year do you go staight to the army or?
Their is a recruitment program via the website
@@KIWITALKZ thanks buddy

I was involved with the Lord of the rings in 1999 with 2/1 RNZIR
If I remember correctly that lady on the right won the driver of the year annual comp or place there about so much knowledge when it comes to logistics
Can a south african join the defense force
You have to be living in NZ for a minimum of 5 years.
Wow. Out of all chance and you didn't even ask for advice on aptitude and interviews.
Terrible interviewer...you would think he would do some research so his questions could draw out some info that has some substance
Recruiting turn away plenty of great recruits every year
Written and physical tests don’t sort anyone out Basic Training sorts that out
Lier may more males are recruited lol 😂
Weak response
They didn't say more women than men are recuited. They said more women are being recruited (relative to the past). Not that it matters really.
I think you are a terrible interviewer. Thankfully these two are very patient 😌
That chick looks so familiar
😂 Aunty Jacinta Ardern is more allied with China 🇨🇳 these days
Stoked he said hes got the mock tests online. My maths inst my strongest point. Hahahahaah. Leeeshgoo
Real One what do you mean?
