Ex-East Rand boy and former boxer Granger Korff writes a tight tale around his experiences in 1 Parachute Battalion in Ovambo and southern Angola in — the halcyon days of South African airborne operations. Korff was conscripted into the Engineer Corps in but, as a result of an encounter with a paratroop corporal the year before, was dead-set on transferring to the parachute infantry, a feat he accomplished with the assistance of an otherwise disagreeable officer.

We were sorted into platoons and chased mercilessly from till Everywhere we went, we had to run. Pulling equipment from stores on the run… And, of course, around the infamous Pakhuis —the parachute hangar where all parachutes were stored, packed and worked on… It had to be done in 70 seconds by the whole platoon or company, or we had to do it again.

We ran it hundreds of times, as did every paratrooper who passed through 1 Parachute Battalion.
