Mooi stories Lood... ons het goeie tye gehad!!

[@andrewwarren3566]

Hello, I just want to thank you all for recording these episodes for us. I was never in the SADF as I am to young, I however dreamt of it. This led me to going to the bush in a anti poaching role at a young age. I will always remember my grandfather and uncles telling me of their time in Rhodesia and in the SADF on the border. I read every book I could find on the border War etc from a young age and very quickly started idiolizing the the operators from the likes of 32bn, the Recces, the Selous scouts, RLI, the Parras etc. It's amazing being able to see the old manne that I have read about talk on your shows. It's means a lot to us younger generation as well. These are our heros. Much respect from the bush.

[@LegacyConversations]

Thank you for your kind words, Koos

[@kempvdwesthuizen9245]

Ek kyk die onderhoud weer en geniet dit nog meer as die eerste keer. Groot respek vir n groot man. God bless

[@johnphillips5607]

Koos, jou opregte belangstelling en empatie, geduld, respek, entoesiasme, bree kennis en humor is aansteeklik en prysenswaardig. Jy is 'n held. "Never to be forgotten."

[@LegacyConversations]

[@johnphillips5607]

@@LegacyConversations It is the least I can do Koos. You are welcome.

Excellent talk, I remember Bloem well and the training, what a pleasure to listen to such an honest account, agree it’s disheartening to see how the kids are so tech bound, but keep in mind its that same tech that’s giving the Ukrainians a lead in their war , just a thought. And I agree once a parabat always a parabat, its in your DNA. I also recall the camps were some of the guys were not paid by their companies it created a nightmare for them, but saying that I also recall that Santam bank helped out by allowing the guys to delay mortgage payments etc. A different time. I remember the Dankie Tannies when I will at 2 Mil, I still have the penny. Agree if you find you are isolated by circumstance join the groups, Moths whatever there is always strength in numbers, take care , vasbyt.

[@justincase8532]

Wat 'n inspirasie!! Ek onthou ook baie grappige goed van my tyd in Suid-Wes. Ons jong manne moet hierna kyk. En laastens, ek dink Lood was 'n regte stoutgat!

[@cccmmm1234]

The war helped by delaying the post-apatheid negotiations to after 1991 when the USSR and communism collapsed. This radically changed ANC policies because they had to make friends with the West. If the ANC had come to power with international communist support in place then things would have been very different

[@fthedems7547]

Well said you are spot on!

[@GrumpyAustralian]

I remember Lood when he was at the Group 5, Beaufort Wes.

[@stephnaude5102]

Gooi Lood, my JSD maat. Jyt mooi vertel, jou ou yster.

[@charlesspilhaus4357]

I really enjoyed this discussion. Dankie Lood en Koos. I enjoyed that Lood loved the training and he still feels it so strongly - not many men like him! The story at the end about the exploding toilet - I really enjoyed Lood's pleasure in recalling that incident.

Peter Stark. Het daai naam in jare nie gehoor nie.

[@tonreap]

Great memories from a proud man, and I agree that we were exposed to a lot as young men and had to cope with the army, there was no giving up, so you persevered, and we all got there. I would caution about the WAGS (wives and girlfriends), as they will steal the show from these men - LOL Seriously, it would be great to hear from WAGS of our men as a different perspective of what they had to go through and make the ladies. part of this!

EK het by die goudmyne gewerk. Ons het met die 9 maande diensplig 1/3de gekry wat baie meer as die R15 wat ons by die pay master gekry het. Met ons kamper kampe het hulle die daaglikse betaling af getrek maar die danger pay was vir ons 'n bonus. In 1994 was ek 'n vrywilliger en ons het met die verkiesing vir 14dae, as ek reg onthou, nag patrollies gery en die myn wou ons nie betaal nie. Ons het een nag patrollie gery en dag gerus en dan een dag gaan werk dws ek het vir 2weke is ek net vir 4dae betaal deur die myn. Ek het nog met die HR Bestuurder gaan praat oor dit. Min het ek geweet dat daar was 'n ooreenkoms wat in plek was dat ons sal betaal word en net die geld wat ons kry by die kommando afgetrek mos word. Toe die verkiesing oorwas en alles het goed afgeloop het ons 'n jaar gewag voor ons die army pay gekry het. Gelukkig het my vrou gewerk ander sou ons honger gely het. Met al my diensplig en verpligte kampe was ek nie getrou net met my laaste maand kamp was ek getroud.

A most interesting conversation; thank you Colonel Pepler. As a 39 year old civilian I did the 3-day selection at the Regiment, before completing the Jump Course in 2000. Here is a home recording of my experience. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqjac61qr5yIepo
