Background

Basic Military Training
Clearing In: Recruits clear in to be transformed into South African
soldiers
Fitness: Running becomes daily routine
Drill: Drills on the parade ground gradually installs discipline into
each recruit
Teaching Continues: And you thought you would never have to study again!
Discipline + Neatness = Soldier: You might believe it is neat, but no Corporal will
ever be satisfied with this effort!
Meeting New Friends (R4): The R4 rifle is a SA soldier's best friend,
during a battle and recruits are soon introduced and "married" to their very
own
Electronic Learning: At the indoor rifle range learners are prepared for
the real thing
The Real Deal
Tradition: A time-honoured ritual for receiving anything from your
previous (civilian) life, is executed
"Make-Up" for SA Soldiers: Camouflage techniques are taught to recruits
"Another New Friend": Buddy Aid is an essential part of a SA soldier's
skills
Where are We? Map reading enable soldiers to navigate and orientate
themselves
Made It! Proudly South African Army Soldier!
