Dit is 'n voorreg om al die oud soldate van 66-88 vandag te saleer julle was en sal altyd die beste weermag in die wereld bly al probeer " hulle " hoe hard om dit weg te steek. Ons het daai tyd nie landmyn bestande voertuie gehad nie en het maar ons eie gebou, so ou Bedford raam wat vooraan die voertuig gehak was en dan met 'n lang stuurwiel van agter die Unimog gestuur was om voor in die pad te ry en skoon te maak. Wie onthou nog: Wanela, Sesheke se landings strook, Katima Mulilo, Ongiva, Mavinga, Otjiwarongo, Rundu, Eenhana, Ogongo, Oshikati, Likanda, Ovambo. Ag dis sommer so paar plekke wat ek nou onthou, mens vergeet van die ander. |

Great to see that there still are so many of us who still care. Would like to hear from any former 6SAI ''RANGERS'. I was in G-Town a couple weekends ago. Took a ride up to the base. Got my wife to take a photo of me next to the 6SAI sign. 22 years have come and gone, but we will NEVER forget. |
