My first time meeting Mr Corney. Good morning corporal, take a look around the station, cast your eye over the equipment and let me know of your findings. At that time, given the military constraints forced on organisations I couldn´t find fault and told him so. He smiled at me and said `let´s keep it that way´. A perfect soldier, poise, posture, disciplined, respected, knowledgeable and easy to be around. Farewell Sir, the fires are doused, danger averted, rest your long rest. Moe mai, moe mai ra e te Rangatira. Haere atu ra.
