NZDF lowers entry standards to boost recruitment numbers

The New Zealand Defence Force has lowered some of its academic entry requirements in an effort to widen its recruitment pool and address declining enlistment numbers.

Roles such as army combat specialists, navy divers, and air force firefighters now require just three years of high school instead of specific NCEA credits, while more technical positions have seen Level 2 certificate requirements streamlined.

The move has been prompted by high attrition rates, with the need to respond to alleged “educational inequalities” has led to a spike in applications in 2024—but actual enlistments remain below target.

Bureaucrats say the quality of recruits has not been compromised, and new marketing efforts aim to attract more young people who may feel the lifestyle isn’t for them.

Meanwhile, the Defence Minister Judith Collins has acknowledged the need for increased funding, with a strategy document expected soon to tackle workforce challenges.

  1. Now that they have driven out the Rightwing/Conservative White males they drop the standards so they can load up with Maoris so they can weaponise the NZDF against any non-wokes push back to the Uni-parties plans.

    • The NZDF always seems to have an ‘exercise’ called ‘Operation Katipo’ during (s)election day.
      This pre-positions the NZDF into place in the event the Uni-Party players are booted from office and an alternative political party enters Parliament.
      Operation Katipo is designed to seize the moment, arrest the alternative political party members who might be (s)elected to office, and restore the Zio-Globalist Uni-Party back into Parliament.

  2. Declare yourself non- binary and that you identify as a possum, the NZDF will promote you to a Lt Colonel. Woke muppets.

  3. Hanry Kissinger said ones: “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy”
    We have to recruit because ” because wars are the best way to uniting slaves. They’ll fight to the death to protect their slaves masters so that they can go back to being slaves/”Aloysius James Fozdyke, he hit the nail on the heat.

    • Kissinger rose to become the first “Jewish” secretary of state and one of the most “influential” Jewish figures of the 20th century.
      “The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.”

    • That is a very imprtant question: What have they made of Godzone? A woke and arrogant pit of narcistic a*seholes who decide that they should govern and take the soul out of a beautiful country. And they think that We The People should be proud to defend that filth-hive, exploited by their overseas masters?
      You show us a proud politician with a spine caring for New Zealand and youth will stand by to protect that.
      Make governance into the scum playpen it has become and the next generation will emulate these ‘role models’.
      But make no mistake: the mainstream media scum is part of the circle jerk. In fact it is/was the enabler of these agents of doom.
      I do hope and pray that their days of mayhem perpetrated on a great people are coming to an end.

    Next comes the draft, but without the country being declared a nation of Armed neutrality for defending NZ and NOT the offshore ‘Zio-Globalist Nation-States’ that are currently committing Genocide, Holodomor, and War Crimes with massive violations of International Law…
    “There’s a gun and ammunition just inside the door…use it only in emergencies’…OH..I FORGOT; NZ LAW MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO DEFEND YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILIES, AND PROPERTY UNDER CASTLE LAWS AND STAND-YOUR-GROUND LAWS.
    Besides, you have to keep your gun in a safe, and not beside the doorway, that is…IF you still have a firearm post-Jabby’s Communist seizure of said firearm(s).

    The Uni-Party Government of NZ is getting ready to take us into World War Three.
    Sign the petition to the Governor-General demanding that NZ Troops, Airmen & Sailors WILL NOT be sent overseas to die for the Zionist Talmudic Globalists!

  5. The pimple on a gnats bottom that is the globalists enclave of bunkered retreat requires a force of chanting prancing DIE numpties to keep the proles away from the cosseted elite. Still, given the imposition of “vaccine” requirements, it is anticipated that the turn over rate for the numpties will be too large to sustain.
    Next, press-gangs.
