Date: Mon 27/11/06 9:05PM From: Dave Email: davidjh.harrison@btinternet.com Message: 82535980BG, Jan 84 intake, 8 SAI. Section Leader, Platoon 5. Spent 15 months in Sector 10 - Etale, Okalongo and Oshakati. Beacon 16 experience was the most memorable, especially when we were "revved" at 03:00 early in 85. Now we hopefully have the maturity and life experience to not want to experience war again. |
