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 10/11/08 4:00PM From: David Email: davidalex@onetel.com Message: Thanks for the site! I was in Infantry School 80-81. Lt Anti-tank instructor in D Company (we were training guys on the Milan 89 and 106 recoiless) Specifically remembering the guys that died in Ops Protea. 30th Sept 1981 - I was being casavaced after a contact north of Cuamato - sent by chopper to an assembly point on the Cuneni - where a T34 was sunk - hitched a ride in a convoy going back to the States - Buffel in front of mine rolled - at least 4 guys not strapped in crushed and killed - helped with first aid until the helicopter arrived with Dr. Went then back to Oshivelo. Total waste - Bad day! Sad that so much of what has happened to us has been swept under the carpet of historical amnesia. Thanks for remembering... |

Waar is al julle ander ouens wat opleiding gedoen het op die 90. My oorspronklike opleiding was nog op die Panhard 90 + 60 met die plat 4 silinder Franse enjin. Laat weet van jul wedervaringe. Op Zeerust het ons daardie enjins met Brasso skoongemaak en kon die enjinkoppe gebruik vir spieels. Groete aan al die ouens van 'n vergete era. |
