IN THE THICK OF IT The annual Junior Officer Inter-Service Sports Tournament (JOIST) is a sports tournament contested between the three Services’ initial officer training courses to generate esprit de corps, build relationships, and compete in good-natured inter-Service rivalry. Last month, over a week, the three Services carried out Lead Teams lessons, introduction to each Service, and competed for the JOIST Trophy and Weka Cup. Competitions included Touch Rugby and Kia-o-Rahi (a traditional Māori ball sport) for the JOIST Trophy, orienteering for the JOIST Trophy, and the Endurance Challenge for the Weka Cup. The last was a mud run at Ngataringa Bay, with everyone washing off at the finish line at Stanley Bay. Congratulations to NZ Army for winning both the Trophy and the Cup.
