Hi all. First post. Came across the above and thought that's us. OH has been in touch with Beth following an email from the good people at the lateral recruiting office. All appears to be going well with our move, OOS received last month for Auckland and EOI submitted. Now just waiting to see if we get an ITA. Due out of RN next July having submitted my notice. All quite scarry and a bit of a gamble but really looking fwd to the move.

Hi pegman,

What is your date for going out? Do they have ships in the RNZAF? !!!!

pegman

Due out end of august 09. Not too worried about the ships I've managed to avoid them for the best part of my carreer. Just got to wait and see if I manage to sell the house now, should be a doddle in the current climateThanks DC for your kind words.

My date is 22nd Aug 09. I shall be on Hercs at 40 Sqn. Sorry about the ships bit, couldn't resist it. Hope all goes well.

I will be in London on the 22/8 if all goes well and then fly out. No confirmation of exact job yet. Looks like we will be on same induction. Keep in touch. Cheers

I encourage you both and any others that will be on the same induction to form a bond it really does help.

BEVS

Yes. Good luck from me too. Hope it goes well .

Hi everyone, we are just about to fill in our EOI, hopefully will get a swift reply and then move on to next stage. We should be over at Base Auckland Oct 2009 if all goes well. Good luck to all, and hope to meet up with you at some point! Beth, Rich and girls

well the email came through and my oh didnt get an interview, they said that there arent any places in his trade. so thats that, now we have to choose melbourne or brisbane in oz, so no NZ for us now.
hope everyone else who was waiting got some good news.

Sorry to hear about your news. We went through a bit the same with Australian Navy, so know how you feel, Good luck with whatever you decide. Beth

Pleased to say we were selected from pool on Wed, now have to wait for ITA. We are due to be based in Auckland from October 2009. At that stage our girls will be 13 in the Nov and 12 in Jan 2010, does anyone know the choices of Secondary school in that area and when they will make the move, as I think it is later than over here. Any info regarding schooling and how soon we need to apply for a place would be really helpful. Getting really nervous now!! Beth, Rich, and girls.

Just to let you all know got a second email, this is to tell me that I did not get selected at this selection. But would like to keep your name on record for the next selection in 2009.
But hey I have only been waiting 4 year and getting old and bolder. LOL.

Hello,
A bit new to all this but am wondering if anyone could answer a bit of a personal question? Hubby has a job offer with RNZAF, but has had a bit of a depressing conversation with someone who went out to NZ with the NZ navy, couldn't manage financially and so came back. This guy apparently had no mortgage and had bought quite a big house and had savings too. We have no savings and would need a mortgage so was just wondering how do you find wages against cost of living? Don't want to be sitting in a shed admiring a lovely view but living on baked beans!
