Message: 83418798BG - Good site. The good old days. Served my time from '84 - '86. Was a convoy driver based in Grooties but was hardly ever there. Saw a lot of SWA and many parts of Angola while working with UNITA & 32 Battalion. Made some of my best friends on the border. Wish I could find some of them as we have lost touch. Service should still be compulsory in SA. It makes a man out of you. God Bless to all those who served and those who lost mates.

Message: I've been looking for a website like this for so long. Thank you so much for making and setting up such a fantastic form of our proud history. You make us proud to be South Africans, no matter where or who we are. You guys fought for us while we slept peacefully at night - unaware of the real threats around us - we were just kids - Govt. told us very little and I'm glad that, now that its on the web, it can never disappear - we can show our children one day what we all stood for : no racism, no hatred. They defended our identity and our very existence from certain destruction. God Bless you all. Cheers from "sunny" UK!!

Message: What an awesome website. I didn't have to go to the army cos I am a Kiwi (New Zealand) but I did my 2yrs. Basics at 1SAI then off to the BIKE SQUAD. After training we went to Otavi. From there it was all over place. Used to wheelie past the convoys and camps. Now I am back in New Zealand, but do miss South Africa. Good luck to you all!
