Reading through the fred again I remembered an incident which happened about 3 weeks after klaaring in at 14 Field.
Gen Constand Viljoen was Chief of the Army or Defence Force at the time and he was an ex-gunner.
One morning on the parade ground the RSM told us that Gen Viljoen was coming to visit. Each battery was assigned a section of the camp to spit and polish. We got the dirt road from the tar road to the gate.
WO Viljoen made us all leopard crawl the entire dirt road and pick up every little stone bigger than your pinky's nail and throw it into the bushes.
Needless to say gen Viljoen never pitched but we still had the smoothest dirt road in the world.
