Message: Brilliant site, I never did service but really wanted to but by the time I was finished school things had changed so much it wouldn`t have been worth while. It seems as though we have lost a piece of our souls with the service gone. I think the future that remains looks bleak however our strenght held us together before.

Message: Been thinking a lot recently about my 2 years "diens" in "NAM" with 8SAI (Upington) 1985-1986. Haven't found a lot on the net until now so will be using your site as a reference. Will add a blog entry from my diaries of those times and post it here. Would love to hear from other "8SAI'ers" from that time and get photos from those who have them: Riemvasmaak, Upington etc...
