Date: Mon 18/11/08 8:38PM From: Glen Marais Email: glennm@goggaconnect.co.za Message: I love it. Brings back good memories. I served in SWA SPES berede as a tracker in 80-81. Did my tour in Okatopi and the other bases. There are times I sit and dream of the good times we had. At least our youth were made something of those days. Now its drugs and crime. I now ride a 1200 bandit and ride socially with a club called WICKED AND WILD in Cape town. Keep up the good work. And I am now addicted to your patch. Great design. Cheers! |

Date: Mon 19/1/09 11:12AM From: Peter Radloff Email: meercat2200@yahoo.com Message: What a great site and also brings back many memories of those "Army Days". I did basics at 1 Maintenance Unit in Kimberley in Jan 1983 then did border duty at Sector 20 HQ from June 83 - Dec 84. I then joined permanent force in 1986 and served in the Ammunition Corps until Jan 1996 when I resigned and went to America. I was part of a contingent of guys who went to clear up all the left over ammo in Grootfontein between Feb and April 1989. Then again in Walvis Bay in Aug 1993. I did JL's at the School Of Artillery in 1989 from May till Nov 89. If anyone remembers those days please contact me. Thanks for a great site. I have a story at "Sentinel Projects. |

Can anyone tell me when the act for naturalisation for 18 - 25 year olds became law and were you given a naturalisation certificate? |

Date: Wed 4/2/09 11:43AM From: Mauveen Email: mauveen@hsshopfitters.co.za Message: I happened to come along this site while looking for pictures for my son in Gr. 4, who is doing a speech on his role model "SOLDIERS". It brings back a lot of memories for me because my 3 brothers were in the SADF and so was my husband all those years ago. It was sad times for the family to see their loved ones going off to fight to protect them. To all the men (and women) who did it back in those years, THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AFTER ME AND MY FAMILY. I WAS AND STILL AM PROUD OF YOU ALL! |

Date: Mon 9/3/09 8:11AM From: Gerdus Maree Email: gerhardtfr@telkomsa.net Message: 79342135BG - 1982 - 1983. Did Basics in 4SAI Middelburg and then off to Infantery Skool Oudshoorn, Charlie Company - what a year, but it prepared us well for the next year! Looking for my old buddy Gerrit Otto. Second year served with 203 Battalion (Bushmans) having our Base at Nhoma during 1983. Operated in Sector 20 mostly on the 17.30 and 18 Degree "kaplyne" to cover the infiltration routes. Ops Bases were Nepara and Mpungu Vlei. Petrus Germishuys (384) and Kobus Le grange (306) please e-mail me as I would like to share experiences of 203 Battalion. These two years are still constantly in my mind and over the years all the bad experiences have faded and only the good ones remain. Well done to all the other boys! |
