It was my home for a year. I got similar pics of the bateleurs firing, but quality is bad as it was taken with a mik and druk.
Those Bateluers are awsome!
Nice pictures :thumleft:

Is ja! As daai 120mm mortier praat, dan praat hy. Jy moet 'n 120mm sien met 'n delay as hy op 'n stand gegooi word. ;)
Groot dankie vir die Airborne Gunners, anders kan ons 'gewone' paratroopers nooit agter by die C130s se tailgate uitgespring het nie. ;)

Was their still an effective military post 90's as the compulsory two years ended in 1990? :pot:
Oke's use to say that you klaar in , have a hair cut, get a medical ,complete 3 months basics and then klaar out if you only did 1 year military service. :peepwall:
NCO's whom did 1 years service completed their officers course through correspondence and received their pips in the the mail. :imaposer:
Nowadays recruitment for hardened soldiers are often held at Grootvlei and Polsmoor. :biggrin:

Reading through the fred again I remembered an incident which happened about 3 weeks after klaaring in at 14 Field.
Gen Constand Viljoen was Chief of the Army or Defence Force at the time and he was an ex-gunner.
One morning on the parade ground the RSM told us that Gen Viljoen was coming to visit. Each battery was assigned a section of the camp to spit and polish. We got the dirt road from the tar road to the gate.
WO Viljoen made us all leopard crawl the entire dirt road and pick up every little stone bigger than your pinky's nail and throw it into the bushes.
Needless to say gen Viljoen never pitched but we still had the smoothest dirt road in the world.

oh yeah .... othou dit nou :imaposer:
EDIT: I remember we use to say something back to the saying "agter elke bokkop is 'n f**$^op" had to go and google ...Guilty !!
Here we are " maar vir elke bokkop lig n vrou haar rok op."
Ex Bokkop ...

Wat van bombardier Viviers in '84. Hy was 'n mean grensvegter in 41 battery in 4 Veld. Maar die opleiding het ons goed voorberei vir 61 Meg in 84. Goeie tye gewees !

In 77 het ons nog by kant deure uitgespring op C130's. Gehoor die ouens het sommer later agteruit gespring.
Ek het die gevoel gehad die lugstrome het in elk geval die twee strings weer saam gegooi wat by sydeure uitgespring het.
Ek het ook die paar kere wat ons laaities die C130 gespring het n bloeiplek gehad. Nogtans lekker tye :thumleft:
