Laugh-out-loud yarns from a soldier in the New Zealand Army
In 2011, a young Dario Nustrini pulled up at Waiouru Military Camp. Raring to go, he had visions of shooting guns, riding tanks and jumping out of planes. But the reality of his six years in the NZ Army would be quite different. This book is a collection of Dario's best and silliest yarns from inside the military. From field exercises going wrong and pranks going right to sneaking ciggies between drills and harbouring a secret parrot, Nothing Significant to Report is one soldier's story of mischief and misadventure fuelled by $4 jugs of lager and stolen sachets of peanut butter. When training is over and Dario is deployed to war-torn Iraq, will he even enjoy the role he has spent five years preparing for?
