There were a lot of drama in that 2003 WC preparations, I also remember Geo Cronje and Ashwin Willemse incident as well

The word you are looking for is "Vasbyt", hiking with full battle kit and weapon, pulling tyres and carrying tar poles through the Swartberge around Oudshoorn in the Karoo for 3 days while not getting much sleep, food or water. But it was actually not that elite - all infantry officers had to complete that before becoming lieutenant. The instructors would taunt the soldiers all the time "why suffer so much, get on the bakkie, have a nice shower and rest". There were more intense filtering processes in the parabats (physical) and recce groups (psycological).

No guys. It’s wrong to break a person down. Because you are not psychologically trained! Bullet I thought you were kinder!

[@rahjah6958]

Breaking somone down is that training

No watching a film, or tv show, or playing video games, can teach a person what they are speaking about
