Re: Joining SAPS Special Task Force. Advice and 2c please!
That report is a bit out of order though. The Taakies did not do that bad. On the day 1 tactical event they came in 27th. In the tower event (which they have no required specialty in )they came 28th iirc, and in the obstacle course they also got home in the mid twenties, beating out some stiff competition. Most of the events were won by the hosts, playing in their own backyard.
So they did not do so bad, especially considering that as mentioned, other teams have huge resources in training people specifically for this event, and also huge logistical support (guns, equipment, ammo development etc). And the equipment gap only gets bigger when you have to get it all to another country, and you suddenly have to deal with the very structures your brothers have been sabotaging for the last decade....I would not be surprised if CFR and Customs deliberately screwed them over thinking they were actual south african national team sport shooters. Perhaps the boys had to shoot with loaned guns, borrowed factory ammo, and wearing hand me down webbings.
They did allright.
