Army recruits stationed at the camp have reported seeing shadowy figures at the end of their bunks at night, as well as sounds of tapping on their metal bunk frames. Faces have been seen outside the windows at night after curfew.

new zealand: declining maritime nation that cannot consent an extension of its busiest port, can’t insulate army housing in waiouru, has no naval supply ship, no onshore refining capability, no air force combat wing, a hollowed out industrial base with insufficient electricity generation, lol

NZ is a guilty partner to this attack on Venezuela. NZ's military helped the US bomb Yemen under Biden, trained US snipers in Waiouru last year, has maintained joint military/intel meetings & exercises with the US for years and has been talking up this partnership more than ever.

NZDF says numbers of Singaporean soldiers training at Waiouru are "confidential". And next month it'll probably be in Army News or something.

And spending that money on the wrong roads to keep rich voters north of Wellington and in the Waikato happy while SH1 between Taupo and Waiouru remains an embarassment as a serious transport route - very scenic but still an embarassment...

The on base accommodation is pretty good albeit with shared facilities.
The housing area for families needs to be burned down but that is on ALL govt's going back decades.
In 2008, I took the then commander for Waiouru to Puckapunyal where the ADF was replacing 80s housing as no longer suitable...

First of 2 charging stops was the sunny tourist hotspot of Z Waiouru. Took 22 minutes and cost $31, which would be pretty good for half a tank of petrol.
It was just enough time to use the toilets (there was a line, told you it was a tourist hotspot) and grab a coffee and we are now off again.

I think we need a camp David style political retreat here in NZ, Waiouru would be my preferred location and all coalition negotiations must take place there under the watchful eye of the gg and nzdf. Also all elections should occur in late June. ❄️❄️❄️

Also driving an EV north on SH1.
No such thing as anxiety about charger availability these days.
The big set up at Z Waiouru and the BP at Tīrau.
Too easy.
