Captain Kereyn Robertson is the top ranking Otago-based officer in the New Zealand Army's Bravo Company.
What is your least favourite thing about humanity?
That we can be so cruel to one another.
What is one strong childhood memory?
Weekend adventures with the family. Rain, hail or shine we would pack a picnic, grab the dog and go bush for the day.
What is your message?
Life is short: go hard and enjoy it.
If you were going to an island and could take only three things, what would they be and why?
A flint to start a fire for warmth and cooking. A pot to cook in and store water. A blanket for shade and warmth.
What's something only your family knows about you?
In fourth form I virtually got kicked out of school and was lucky Mum and Dad pulled strings to get me into a brilliant school that straightened my attitude out.
