Description

Laugh-out-loud yarns from a solider in the New Zealand Army

For Dario Nustrini, joining the New Zealand Army straight out of high school was like running away to join the circus. These are his stories, mishaps and misadventures from inside the circus.

From press-ups with a corporal screaming in his ear to sneaking a ciggie before the next drill, always carrying peanut butter in his pocket, secretly harbouring a pet parrot, sinking $4 jugs at the officer's bar and clumsily chasing exotic women on a European deployment, Nothing Significant to Report charts Dario's colourful but uneventful six years in the military. Will he ever get sent on a serious mission And if he does, will he like it
