Date: Mon 24/1/11 1:25PM From: Willie Bezuidenhout Email: bezuidenws@gmail.com Message: 76279900BT Kaptein - Ek het my basies in Jan 1979 in 1 SAI gedoen. Daarna Junior leiers by Infanteriekool op Oudshoorn. Alpha Kompanie die jaar met die sneeu gedurende Vasbyt. Gedurende Konfensionele opleiding vrywillig as leierskops na die destydse 31 battaljon (Ovambo battaljon) Gedurende 1980 het ons 101 Battaljon geraak. Peleton leier met Korporaal Rahl en Riekert as peleton sersante. Nog 3 maande kampe gedoen en het `n paar kersfeeste op die grens deurgebring. My volle hoeveelheid dae klaargemaak sonder een "Lokasie kamp" ek was `n opgeleide soldaat, nie `n shebeen oppasser nie. Snaaks hoe hierdie goed `n manier het om teug te kom, al is dit jare later. Kan met trots se ek was een van 101 in die begin jare as voet soldaat! |
