I was conscripted in January 1978 into the South African Airforce, I think we were the second two year group. At the end of the two years, I realised that I knew how to iron and not necessarily believe the body's complaints when undergoing fairly intense training. I felt it was a huge waste of my personal time but I loved the camaraderie. Many amusing moments that are remembered long after the unpleasant ones have faded.
