I was Army Reserves (infantry), went to Kapooka, put up with their bullshit for a few months then discharged.

Might go full time once this apprenticeship is done, who knows.

You don't need to be an Australian citizen if you are a K1W1.

I though it strange you thought you had to be an Australian citizen. My best mate has done 20 years in the Navy and is a Kiwi without Aussie citizenship.

You should have joined the NZ Navy, they spend more time in Sydney than we do!

OK what I mean is are you urban,rural,aviation,fulltime or volunteer etc.

As for not liking the current government,there is only one way to fix that....take out citizenship and vote them out.
