Army PTI leaves for police
Porirua is where Jack Milford is going, off to train policemen and women as a civilian physical training instructor. After four years as chief PTI in Waiouru, and nearly 20 years of Army service, Jack thinks he's led a fairly sheltered life in the army and is looking forward to facing the real world. He said he is going to miss the wilderness of Waiouru. "You can run any where, hunt, fish, kayak, ski - every thing is at your doorstep." Jack also talked about activities for children in Waiouru. "So much revolves around children: mini league, mini tjall (basketball), mini swimming - the list goes ori." Leaving the army as a Warrant Officer Class I, Jack may be starting a whole new career as a police constable. He has to weigh up the stress factors involved both for himself and his family before he makes any decision. During his time in Waiouru, Jack has seen the building of the rock wall, the refurbishing of the weight room and the newest addition - the high ropes course. He is replaced by Staff Sergeant Paul Creedy.
