This man is a role model to many of us Kelston old boys, would like to give this special man the recognition he deserves. He has played a big part of this Kelston Services Family and he is the reason why, a-lot of us have joined the Defence Force. With his Style of instructing/Teaching👀🥊😂 we have taken many of his life lessons on board. Congrats again and this one was unexpected 👀😂

As one great staff said: when one of us achieves we all achieve. Newly promoted Warrant Officer Seaman Combat Specialist Ngahiwi Walker and Maori Cultural Advisor - Navy.

All the hard work and dedication that you put in for the RNZN has payed off. Real big role model for our community. Continue to do us proud over in Canada.

The 15 year junior rate chapter of my life came to an end today. A strange amount of emotion was felt, it didn't really hit me until I was clapped out of the mess when I walked out for the last time. There have been some seriously tough times over the years and I chose the difficult path over the easy one. I still regret nothing because hard is what works for me. Respect to all those that I have served with over my time, I'll still be part of the furniture in the combat fleet for a few years yet.

I know there were alot of people that wanted to be there today, such is being deployed to another country for 18 months. Hopefully we are back in a few months time and we can catch up then.

Our very own Pilot to be Waikie Wang has just completed a course over in Canada.

The course is the Canadian Air Combat Systems Officers course it’s the selection course you need to pass prior to embarking on the training on the sea sprite. I went there last year Jan 1st 2021 and did a year of testing and learning before graduating with my wings.

Continue to inspire the next generation to aim high and that nothing is impossible. With the correct mindset EVERYTHING is possible 💯

Bravo Zulu Sir⚡️🔥

Always good catching up with this guy Hobby Pomare busting jokes like we still at school 😂. Thank you bro for being honest and letting the boys know abit about the Army life 🙏. Alot of our boys are inspired by your journey and im surprised you’ve made it this far 👀😂. Hopefully we catch up with the boys soon 💯🏁

HMNZS Te Mana is currently located in Victoria shipyards drydock undergoing biannual hull maintainence to support the frigate systems upgrade project and return trip to NZ later in 2022. This is a busy time for the ships marine technicians as it allows the removal of systems for maintainence which would normally be full of sea water. Removing the ship from the water is a complex and time consuming evolution which requires all hands on deck from our department. Many extra hours are currently being worked to ensure we remain on schedule with our program for the rest of the year.

For the boys wanting to join as a Marine Technician, here are some of the things that you will be doing in the near future 🔥
Thank you Jay Joseph Reibel, love your work over there in 🇨🇦 brother.
