A really great series, very impressive group of young people. i thought the rapport between the instructors and recruits was excellent, no bullying or over the top screaming and shouting. NZ is justifiably proud of their excellent armed forces. All the best from the UK.

Awesome series. Respect from across the ditch!! May they serve NZ with honour and pride.

The absolute power and conviction in that Haka, to face your superiors, men and women alike, must have been the greatest reward of it all. respect throughout. Much love from the UK!

Look how much their drill has improved since the first episode. My navy cadet unit still struggles to do drill despite doing it for months, even years for some of them.

Correction - its not intake for the NZSAS its regular army basic common training for new recruits.

This is like no other army in the world. Period. I was present when we ( as the incoming rotation ) farewelled a NZ contingent on an overseas operation The haka they did brought tears to my eyes. There is Something very special, very emotional, very unique, and very moving as the soldiers in this doco slow march out of the Waioru marae past the two lines of their DS. Like no other army in the world.

I never watch series but I legit watched every one. Loved it. Some more please🤭🤷

Great Video series! I never forget to remember my uncles on Anzac Day. Served with the 28th Maori Battalion in Crete, Nth Africa & Italy in WW2. R.I.P Uncle Sonny Bishop R.I.P Uncle Wally Utetaonga Something I always remember about Uncle Sonny, he had a soft spot in his heart for animals. Didnt tolerate cruelty or abuse of any kind towards them. He had a "special touch" with dogs, cats, birds etc.. But didnt suffer fools when it comes to human beings! At a family 21st Birthday for cuzzy Wiremu (I was a 12yr old kid then) some stupid drunk young bucks tried to gate-crash the party. My aunty tried to talk some sense to them asking them to leave when 1 of them told her "fuck up bitch" & pushed her aside causing her to fall down. Uncle Sonny was just comin outta the toilet when this happened.. and JESUS! I've never seen him move so fast! Literally smashed the dude who assaulted Aunty Mihi ! 😳.. & took down his mates too!!😳... Aunty had to step in to calm him down otherwise he could have killed them! Later when I was in high school & studied WW1 & WW2 in History class uncle shared alittle bit of his war experience & some personal philosophy: " Do you know whats the cause of all the wars, misery & woes in this World? Its us human beings, the "so called" intelligent superior species. We humans are the cause of all the problems on this earth, not the animals, Remember that".

Thankyou

Fantastic thanks for sharing prayers blessing to you 🙏 amen 🙏

Wow singh u are a very tough lady and a honorable 🎖 soldier👊

This show is awesome!

This is really cool I imagine myself joining the army and doing really well and marching at the graduation and seeing my family so proud of me 🙂

The New Zealand Army has a really good rifle the LMT with ACOG with RMR reflective red dot sights. Far better than when I was a recruit in the US Army back in 1986 at Ft. Benning Infantry School with the Vietnam era M16A1 rifle.

Now what this episode mean Are they going to be shown in their trade training after basic or is it going to be RNZN or RNZAF basic training I'd love to see that

Completely different from when I did my training in Waiouru in 1979. Our fitness test was with full kit 16km not 4km and involved shooting, jumping, climbing and carrying. The time limit was 2.5 hours. Our shorter run was 3km in 14 minutes not 4km in 32 minutes.

Yea, what's weird is, never actually being in myself, I knew it was coming. Guess that's what happens when you're in cadets with the CO's being legit CO's from their respective branches. Brutal bunch, you fuck up, you're gone, only because of the opportunities that were around where the base was. Air Cadets Ardmore, we literally had camps where we got to fly. So guessing most the discipline shit really stems from it being like in the air force at a younger age thanks to being able to have that chance.

Well done singe

Certain sectors of New Zealand society talk much about the over representation of Maori in prison which may very well be true given the statistics. However their representation in the armed forces both now and years gone is also indicative of who they are as a people. I'm a proud Norwegian with viking blood in my veins but came to this country 17 years ago almost instantly building a kinship to the Maori people. If one portion of New Zealand society can only ever see and speak of the worse in their native inhabitants then I'm here to say, as a foreigner, there is also much good. None of us a perfect.

Season 2??
