853107 2010-01-29 23:10:00 And you think that the Army does not have a file already on the original poster?

Maybe, maybe not. Neither of us are in a position to make that assessment, but there is a way of finding out.....

What I do know is the RNZA & RNZIR had different application processes, & different people undertaking the medical assessments at different locations, when I went through the process. Rather than be fatalistic, why not give it a go? If the OP wants it this much then what has he got to lose? And if not the RNZIR or RNZA, how about whats left of the RNZAF or even the navy?

853108 2010-01-30 00:53:00 If you are looking for a non-combat trade then join the RNZA (Artillery). It's easier then being a grunt and from memory it is a different recruitment process to joining the RNZIR. You do the same basic training, have the same RFL, you also get to shoot rifles etc. but when I went through it was a different set of people who do the initial medical check.

Artillery non-combat?
We were deployed so much while I was in we had to close one battery off.

853109 2010-01-30 00:53:00 I am sure the air force and navy need asthmatics less than the army. prefect (6291)
853110 2010-01-30 00:56:00 NZ Army no contract as such, depending on trade you have to do return service (usually something like 2 years).

Commission = reserve/territorials?

Am going to doctors on Monday, he'd already told me he said he thought I'd be fine for enlistment in the Army, and I told them that, but it didn't seem to change anything.

Anyone know if Aussies take on asthmatics? Heard they did?

I know there were a few I met there. If you want to be a driver over there they were screaming out for them year before last.
Almost went myself, but soon as baby was born I cut my ties.

853111 2010-01-30 04:51:00 Artillery non-combat?

That's not quite what I said. The RNZA has a lot of non-combat roles and Wolf indicated he wanted to be a driver. Artillery isn't considered front line so, in my day, there were a lot more women in the Artillery than the Infantry.

Were you in 161 Battery Rob? I did survey in HQ.
