Today I had the chance to sit down with friend and former colleague WIremu Moffitt. A year in the making- this was one of the most exciting interviews I have ever done and I hope that you, the listener and viewer, get as much from it as I did.
Watching his military journey from a Sergeant in 1NZSAS Group back when we met, to RSM 1NZSAS Gp, and now on to his current role- Sergeant Major of New Zealand Army - has been a pleasure.
Watching his military journey from a Sergeant in 1NZSAS Group back when we met, to RSM 1NZSAS Gp, and now on to his current role- Sergeant Major of New Zealand Army - has been a pleasure.
We spoke about his military journey and beginnings and his drive to join the SAS and how he got there.
We spoke about the support team he has around him, his wife and family, and how these and the teams he builds have allowed him to be able to perform at the very highest military and personal levels.
Side note- I have never heard of a wife called a "Primary" before , but I would expect nothing less from the consummate professional operator that Wiremu truly is.
We spoke about females in the Special Forces and in combat platoons, and debated the need for a different type of soldier in the modern world, along with the difficulties of recruiting when it comes to current physicality, throwing, jumping, etc.
We also spoke about the modernizing of Army and Defence's approach to recovery, supplementation and performance.
We went on to chat about Mental health and wellbeing and I was very happy and surprised to hear the answers he gave and shared.
Overall, I was amazed at how Mu manages his workload, spirituality, whanau, physicality and specifically how this correlated with many high ranking Special Forces Veterans I have spoken with also.
To hear the successful strategies being employed by a serving soldier- in fact the highest ranking soldier in the New Zealand Army- was insightful, inspirational and gives me great hope for future warfighters joining the team that Mu is helping to create.
"In The Service of Others" - WIremu Moffitt, Sergeant Major of New Zealand Army- Thank You.
