Cadet in 1979 graduated to RNZEME. Trained as a Panelbeater. Posted around the various workshops. Spent 6 months at Scott Base in 1988/89 one of the best things I ever did. Also took 6 months LWOP in 1987 and went to England etc. Left the Army in 1999 after nearly 21years. I've no idea how I lasted that long. Last posting I had was to Whangparaoa Camp as Manager/Caretaker. It was the best posting I had until the Army stuffed it up and gave the place over to the Navy. How unusual. Married to Judy (22yrs) with 2 kids Nik 17 and Dana 14. Currently we own Silverdale Mowers a reasonably large mower,chainsaw ride on repair shop. Main brand is Stihl and things are ticking over okay. So if you are in the area please call in for a chat. We are across the road from the Wade Hotel (Buck Shelfords). Still keep in contact with a few old Army mates. Always good to catch up.
