what are we taking pictures of…?
So…
April 26, 2011Friday afternoon lashout Early Easter edition.
April 21, 2011New Zealand Defence Services Medal applications being accepted.
April 17, 2011Applications are currently being accepted from former servicemen aged 70 and over.
Those aged between 69 and 60 will be able to apply around July/August. 59-50 around August/October . Us comparative youngsters under 50 will be some time towards Christmas.
If you are know anyone who has severed in the New Zealand Armed forces since WWII for three years or more, or in K-Force and J-Force for a year or more then tell them have a medal coming. In fact we have thousands of servicemen who have not recieved any of the up to four medals they are entitled to. The New Zealand government does not issue medals, it requires the recipients to actually find out for themseleves they are entitled to them and then ask for them.
The shabbiness of this arrangement I’ll keep for another time, meanwhile please ensure that anyone who is entitled to this medal – around 160,000 of us – gets it. In many caes the recipients are deceased and their relatives may well be unaware of the entitlement. If you are unsure then contact the medals office. They are very helpful and usually efficient. Keep in mind they have had to take on extra staff for this release and will be snowed under for the next year sorting this lot out.
You can apply online and you may need to get some additional documentation, again ask the medals office. If you need some help then ask me, I’ve dealt with a certain ammo9utn of this sort of paper work previously.
If you’re entitled, apply for it and wear it at ANZAC Day next year. If you are the heair to someone who is deceased then apply for it and wear in on the right hand side of your chest next ANZAC Day. This country has a long and proud military history and this should be reflected to the population at large for at least one morning each year and the so called comedians who think slanging us off is clever and the just plain pig ignorant media just take the morning off.
“Many thousands of New Zealanders have met the demanding requirements of military service. They have served their country and community loyally and well, including responding to disasters such as the Christchurch earthquakes, but not on operations.
“Up to now there has been no recognition of this service, on which the Government places high value. This medal remedies that. It delivers on the National Party’s campaign commitment to recognise those people.
“It also honours those Reserve personnel whose service comes on top of full-time commitments in civilian life.”
Friday Afternoon Lashout
April 15, 2011Advice to Petrobras.
April 12, 2011Problem with hippies swiming in front of your ship? Can’t find a “humane” way of dealing with them?
GOOD NEWS! We here in New Zealand have a lot of experience with smelly hippies trying to impose a minority view on everyone else with force and we can help you deal with this tide of stupid.
Throw in a bar of soap.
And there it is…
April 12, 2011The Arabs want air cover for terrorists and its ok because they’ll only use it to kill JEWS!
Fuck you ragheads, crack a history book we can get pretty pissy when people try this shit.
And you all said I was crazy when I said the Lybian shot was just a precedent setting exercise for attacking Israel.
Cryptic(ish) Movie Review
April 9, 2011This film is entirely devoid of any plot, character develoment, or even noticable script. Its a giat plot hole held together with a series of game cover art shots of hot girls shooting shit while stuff blows up.
Do not go this film for interlectual stimulation, there is none!
I give it 9/10 and a I particularly liked the steampunk zombie German soldiers (WWI so just German soldiers, not zombie Nazis which is somethign else).
This is called entertainment so go and be entertained.
And thats what the new medal looks like.
April 7, 2011Penny… not so bright really.
April 7, 2011Is it simply another wackjob conspiracy nutter or should she be sued for gross defamation?
And is being bat shit insane a defence from defamation anyway?
