Hi

Thanks for alowing me to join this site. I joined the South African army in 1982 and went to 1 Parchute Batalion. Later on joined the Pathfinders and do  most of my operations in Angola and Namibia.

I have been out of the army for a while , so is not always upto date with news and latest tech. Hope that is were you can come in.

Welcome to P-net! I'm certain you will bring an interesting perspective to our conversations.

Welcome Joshua.  So you did 12 jumps to get your wings!  Airborne! 

I don't recall too many of our paratroopers carrying the 25kg "marble" everywhere every day of their assignment or being teamed to a telegraph pole for two manadatory two-day movements of 20km each to be assigned to their Airborne units either so my patrol cap off to you trooper.  Welcome to P.Net

Thanks for welcoming me. Yes, I had to do 12 jumps to quilify and a futher 50 to quilify freefall. And yes the pole and "marble" were always present. But it is all worth it.

Welcome to the DZ Joshua, should be interesting to have someone with experience with the SADF here on our forums here.

 

I'm Surprised Panama's still sea level, after all the Push Ups I did down there.
