    For those people here saying this looks like a cake walk compared to, basically US induction phases, that’s because it is. Like the Canadian army it’s not designed break the recruit in the beginning, it takes a lot just to get to basic and they don’t want them running away terrified of their DI’s. It meant to teach them to look after themselves and induct them into military life. In Canada, and I suspect in New Zealand as well, you get get more intense training as you move up. That’s why you’ll see the average spec ops guy in either of these two armies closer to the end of his career than the beginning

We did basic where you learnt to be a soldier and then once that was finished you went on to corps training depending on the vocation you choose.

      I am sorry that you got disqualified medically from joining the US Army. With your spirit of being to be soldier, you could have been a great Paratrooper in the Airborne Infantry. For me I thank God to give me the motivation and strength when I was a young man to fulfil my dreams and aspirations to be a Paratrooper once upon a time. I would trade the healthy shit bag guys I went through Basic, Infantry, and Airborne for a person like you. If they only invented a machine that could make you transform into a healthy person. You would have been an awesome Paratrooper as an Airborne Infantryman jumping out of any military aircraft. Check out sky diving. They don't require stringent military requirements like the US Military. I am saving up for sky diving school in the future even though I have only 30 military static line jumps officially. I jump only once a year for 3 years now at my unit reunions. I can only say this to you as a choice not as what you should do. But try a tandem jump just to feel a rush of life as a suggestion. I am 53 years old for now. I do what I do in life and live for the day when I jump with my friends. Life is to be lived with your dreams and your aspirations. Reason for me is some of my good friends I have shared tough times and good times have passed away. To share my life with them in danger and adventure when we are still alive because we have gone together as Brothers before, I will not pass that up. If I pass that up because of personal concerns. In my mind that I have failed myself just to see and do with them that once as young men we did bold things. I do this to relive my "Childhood", and to memory. We as human beings must be bold to do what we want in alternative ways. Make it happen just to encourage you. Everything is up to you. I don't expect a direct response or even respond. You can do anything in other alternative options to what you want that does anything dangerous to what I did. But to fulfil your dreams in alternative ways to bring joy happiness and joy. I only responded to your comment." Live long and prosper" as Mr. Spock would say in Star Trek.

We dis in NZ do a huge amount of training for endurance pushups are okay but how many can you do after a 20 mile route march in full kit . I notice a lot of the USA could do a huge amount of exercise for the upper body ...

    I wish the US Army would have something like this where potential recruits would be given a week to find out if they want to really be in the Army or not back in 1986 when I came in. The US Army has it that recruits are sworn in twice. First after finishing their physical examination at the Military Entrance Processing Station and again at the same MEPS station before they are sent to their Basic Training station then they are officially in the Army as recruits. Majority of trainees will find out in the first week of Basic Training after 5 days at Reception to get their first issue of uniforms. Day one of Basic Training is at full speed with yelling and plenty of punishment PT. I believe that recruits who are not physically or mentally fit in their own minds should have the option to leave because it would be a waste of time for their Drill Sergeants and other fellow recruits to motivate them for the next 8 weeks of Basic Training. Non-motivated knuckle heads should not be in Basic Training to be dragged around as dead weight for each training platoon. After finishing Basic Training for 8 weeks and 5 weeks of Infantry School for myself. I was proud of my accomplishments but I was frustrated with the dead weight assholes that didn't want to be there just to make them graduate or some that were given General Discharges for being unfit physically or mentally during Basic Training and Infantry School graduation. I was impressed later a week later when I was going through the US Army's famous Airborne School to become a Paratrooper for the next 3 weeks. The Black Hat Airborne Instructors were a "No Bullshit" cadre. Day one Monday after processing in during the week end is "Truth or Dare Day". Failure to obey commands or instructions, being physically unfit, or appear to being weak will result in automatic ejection and disqualification from being on the course. From being being there the first minute you are asked if you want to quit before any event and every movement you make they ask you to voluntarily vacate. During every PT session, training session, all the way up to Jump Week to do 5 qualifying jumps. The Black Hats will watch every student in their charge to try and eliminate you from the course if you don't make their expectations. Either through physical and training performance to their exacting demands. Every student was demanded to do runs faster and push themselves far higher to the school standards physically. Daily uniform inspections was shinny boots, crisp uniforms, appearance grooming standards. Any infraction will result after 2 times will result in one recycle or ejected from the course. No hesitation in any task after a second warning. The Black Hats pride themselves in weeding out students who don't meet the school's standards. They only want students who they want to become future elite soldiers of the Ranger Regiment, Special Forces, Paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division, Airborne Infantry Battalions, Parachute Riggers, and other US Services like the Navy SEALS, Marine Force Recon, and Air Force Para Rescue and Combat Control Teams. Many other Army or other service jobs require them to be parachute qualified. The normal attrition rate for each class is for Army is average 40-35% failure rate. The other services in the US Armed Forces to become elites is 3%, because they only select their best to attend US Army Airborne School. Yes the New Zealand Army has a good system to weed out those who don't want to be there in the first place and not so much dead weight.

    Did USMC Bootcamp 1988, then Infantry school, then Security forces school, also did 6 years NJ National Guard. It's a culture shock seeing soldiers go through training where the instructors treat their recruits like people. Also it's obvious New Zealand is a Bicultural nation where the Maori and the Colonists have somehow integrated into a working unit. It seems counterintuitive but after watching the British Army, British Royal Marines and the Gurkhas train in this manner it seems to still produce good soldiers, Marines and Commandos, but they take much LONGER time to do it.

      Stage 2 you will be asked by your recruiter to do a health check up with your local doctor
      stage 3 assessment day

But watching this brought back wonderful memories of my own Basic in Waiouru in the mid 80s. Some things were different like carpet on the floor but some things like bed rolls were the same. Best of luck for all the recruits careers they will have learnt Army is the most character forming and special time of their lives. Ubique.

    That was interesting. My Basic was in the middle of winter, 1989, and there are a lot of changes. Some of them are just a lot easier and more gentle, which is very odd to see. The increase in the Maori cultural aspects is pretty cool, however. And other parts are just different. The softly, softly approach is weird to see.

      The softly softly approach is to ensure that they don't psychologically damage people prior to their acceptance as a soldier - NZ Army is still bound by the same Work Safety laws like any other organization. Also, the purpose of the army seems to have changed over the years, the most elite hardened people are selected for the SAS, everyone else is mainly deployed on peacekeeping/diplomatic missions or deployed around the country to help with civil defence preparations or civil defence emergencies.
