[QUOTE="Curlycat, post: 927632, member: 15256"] Fun times yes [member=2242]Juggy[/member]. It was the old Kimberley airport originally. There were some airplane hangers that was burnt down when the troops were told during their 40 days celebration period, hey boys, guess what, you have to do another year of army. The Boeing barracks were huge, with what felt like 300 men in one room and very few working toilets. During basics we would be taken to the border for an op-f@k at 3am in the morning: Many corporals would bust into the hanger and start shouting, Klim uit! Staaldak! Webbing! Geweer! and we would be taken to "Orange Free State border" in full kit about 8 clicks away. Tar poles, boats, ammo chests... I was so tired at times that I would fall asleep whilst writing during lectures. In my notebook, my writing would change to a scribble and then a funny line... often.
