In 1984, as an eighteen-year-old school leaver, the author was
conscripted into a chaotic world of strict order, intense
discipline and subtle brain washing, moulding him into a proud well
trained 1SAI Ratel soldier. On the SWA/Namibian/Angolan border
patrolling through the bush under heavy rainfall and extreme heat,
the platoon formed unbreakable bonds of camaraderie. The sheer fear
of lying in nightly ambush positions and burying massacred dead in
Angola, added to the insanities of the border war. While stemming
the flow of refugees from war torn Mozambique, three soldiers from
Platoon 3 were captured and held as POW’s in Maputo in the
notorious former Portuguese prison, Machava. Called up as a Citizen
Force mechanised soldier in 1988, the author along with some of
Platoon 3 joined an armoured battle group hurriedly formed to repel
two Cuban armoured brigades threatening to invade SWA/Namibia east
of Ruacana.
