Aaron Tait

Did you and your family then eat the animals that you'd hunted that way?

Alongside hunting and being out in the bush, your parents were passionate about religion, Christianity.

Where had they discovered Pentecostal Christianity?

So how did that faith, that version of Christianity show up in your day-to-day life as a family in New Zealand?

Tell me then, Aaron, about a clown's mistake and what role it played in your childhood.

How did you feel about being involved in that as a kid?

Did you convert many New Zealanders with the clown's mistake?

Well, those hamburgers worked and you made it in.

How hard did you push yourself in your initial training?

And what does tough stuff look like in Navy diving?

And was there any moment where you were unsure if you'd be able to take what they were giving you physically or emotionally?

You were training in Sydney Harbour one cold night when you got the message underwater that there was an emergency.

What did you learn when you made it back to base?

Was it clear right away in that room what it would mean for you and the other men?

So were you thinking, maybe I'm not going to be included in this, I'm still training?

So you went that morning and boarded the HMAS Sydney, the warship Sydney.

How noisy was it on board?

A snotty?

Well, this might have been the way you were being referred to, Aaron, but as you got underway with your training, you were told that you were going to be joining something called the Black Team.

What did that mean?
