G.A. says...

I came into the Cadets of '83 already institutionalized from 4 years at St Stephens Boys School.I found cadets easier than Hato Tipene and a lot more fun. Cadets was a blast! I graduated and moved to 2 Coy, Fort Dorset where I attempted to stay out of trouble. Alas to no avail.Once out of hospital in '86 I was transferred to 4 Coy Waiouru. That was my demise. Boy do they have the Army Manual fully read!! and some!!! I spent 2 haunting years in Waiouru. Forever on charge or trying not to go to Ardmore. Merdically discharged Christmas of '88. Spent many years enjoying the European life. Had a little time back in NZ. In '96 I left and am married to an American girl. Live in Massachusetts. I'm the Catering Chef for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,Boston. Haven't been back in NZ for 14 years. I know it's still there cause the All Blacks are still playing rugby and NOT winning the world cup. I am also on facebook.
