Re: Those were the days, we were soldiers!
There was really no communication between the different companies that time...companies/platoons kept to them selves, no interaction what so ever. Especially , Eco company, the singing squad of corporals...those guys was fit and could really sing when working as a platoon..man, it was great to watch them and hear them sing...poetry in motion...
We had a Major Tom Ferreira , according to folk lore he was quite a type Maj. Dan Pienaar guy...I myself has never seen him in action.....we had a sergeant major Coetzee, one of the nicest people/PF I have ever met.
There were good people all around in Infantry school, the not so nice one were around, but it seems I stayed out of their way...
What I miss the most was the singing and guitar playing after the day`s activities..it really was something special...guard duty was a activity I really did not enjoy at all...who would attract an army base like Infantry school.. Sunday mornings coffee and sandwiches were nice as well...
