Message: 83384347 BG CPl J van Tonder. Did my Basics, JL's and RO's in 1986 at Genieskool Kroonstad, Bossiesspruit. Was stationed at 24 Field Squadron Rundu in 1987 after that. To many memories! Keep up the good work with this site. Our legacy may not be erased. We owe it to ourselves and to those who did not return from the battlefield.

Message: 83464685BG - Ek het by 1 SAI ingeklaar in 1986 en my JL'S (Pel Bev) gedoen by MLV. 2de jaar 1987 instruksie gegee by 1 SAI - Charlie Comp. Seksie leiers en daarna skitters opgelei - Beste tyd van my lewe - dis lekker om te lees van al die manne wat hulle plig gedoen het vir volk en vaderland. Dit is jammer dat daar nie reunies saamgestel word sodat n mens weer al jou "brothers in arms" kan sien nie en kan gesels oor al die dinge nie. Al wat ek kan se is dat dit was n puik weermag, puik instrukteurs, puik soldate en puik wapentuig. Ek sal altyd in trose SA MEG INFANTARIS bly - "ONS VIR JOU SUID AFRIKA"

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!

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!!
