Snotties

Snotties was a reality TV programme which aired on New Zealand's TV 2 from August - October 2006. 32 wannabe naval officers rolled up to the Royal New Zealand Navy's Officer Training School in Devonport - ranging in age from 17-year-old school leavers through to a hardened 34-year-old ex-army engineer. All had decided a life on the ocean wave was a life for them. They faced 22 weeks of intense military training - a lot physical, but also a lot spent in the classroom learning the many aspects of naval life. Snotties follows their journey.
