Think the point is it's nicked off a Rhodie t-shirt.

They've had QC problems for years; receivers, para top cover spring mounts, railed top covers, magazines, lowers.....

Skiet Piet is the crouching commando cap badge used by the errr... commandos. Now disbanded because having them protect farms and farmers was just not cricket, old bean.

Wynand spent a while in chookie in Angolsch but I reckon Sakkie could have him...

Someone didn't get the CSM's message about which boots did he?

Nope he just doesn't fancy the green wellie Brigade. On the other hand he may just have fallen out with the QM

Hold your horses, sunshine.

I'm thinking that whoever it was did a better job communicating the message about uniform, than did Two Suppers Wall.

Great bloke. Was doing a grand job in Baghdad at the same time that I was working there.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Nigerian Army for donating their webbing to the British Army throughout the 60's and 70's and for the lessons in blancoing my belt with donkey stone until they had enough 58' pattern to issue.

Ja, most blokes were terrified of him, even those of us not in his mob but speaking to him and the other heavies later on once out, they were all good eggs with the welfare and needs of their troops at heart. Too young and dumb to know that at the time but grateful for the levels of professionalism in hindsight.

I wonder what goes through your mind when you are told that your personal weapon is an RPG?

The sight, probably. If you're not holding it correctly.
