Hi my name is Mike.I did my training at 6SAI JULY 82 - JULY 84.
When arriving on the border I was seconded to the SWATF 101 Battalion -
Owambo - Alpha company - Romeo Mike as a buffel driver.
My buddies and I were the first army drivers to be trained as Casspir drivers - on the new mk2 turbo Casspirs.
After that course we were assigned to the RM teams.I my first callsign was Romeo Mike 5 Delta.I stayed here for most of my 18 months on the border and saw quit a bit of action having to Casspirs blown out from underneath me.
In my last 4 months we were sent to drive for 201 Battalion - Bushman - were I stayed until 5 days to clearing out.
