hi all,
was reading all the interesting threads here and they sure bring
back lots of memories abt my army days...btw my unit already stand
down long ago. i got interested in this forum cause i was trying to
find new info abt SAF since my son, will be going into army in abt
2 years time.
now abt tekanning, i remember a very funny tekan session my platoon
went thru' during BMT. we didn't do a good job cleaning the cook
house and our cpl decided to tekan us but we were all giggling due
to the silly nature of it...
we were ordered to fall in all the ants running around one of the
table, the requirement was, no ants must be killed. we got to fall
in the ants into 3 rolls and move them thru' a few marching orders
shouted out by our cpl.
at the end of it all, our cpl inspected the ants and any dead ones,
we've to take out a piece of paper and write a condolence letter to
the ant's 'parents' to explain abt their 'son' death in the SAF and
appologize to the 'parents'.
