  2. sorry- both of the skulls with the green berets are FFL, all the oaks with the facial soup-strainers are FFL the poofta with the goat however is SFL... The FFL wears green berets in honor of the former British commandos that they fought with in WWII- except they wears theirs to the other side.
  3. Plus in the FFL you are encouraged to grow a beard! http://i31.tinypic.com/fteqeq.jpghttp://dlstatic.speedtv.com/imageserve/06EDgJd8hfaDz/350x.jpghttp://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdt9m9SowV1rq82zeo1_500.jpg
  4. Yea its still running- you have to be from a Spanish country though, but they aren't as revered as the FFL [their uniforms are pretty gay and their mascot is a goat ] http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2008/10/13/va1237517111265/6296646.jpg vs http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-prn1/c41.41.518.518/s160x160/22692_4729491552963_1028028218_n.jpghttp://r25.imgfast.net/users/2514/22/07/88/smiles/34829651.jpg[means the devil marches with us]
  5. From what I've heard/read you don't need to speak any French to begin with as you learn it as you go- they give some intense french lessons during basic where you are teamed up with another recruit who is natural francophone and is then responsible for your development, the guy I mentioned above could speak French absolutely perfectly
  6. There's always that one tosser who'll never pay for his beers, blatantly hit on your wife and give your position away... http://d22zlbw5ff7yk5.cloudfront.net/images/uncaptioned-JnHhx-50ce36c0e7898.jpeg
  7. I met another Saffa who had just left the FFL at 26 after serving his 5 years- he told me the training was absolutely brutal; he said for his first 2 weeks he had to carry a backpack filled with gravel while they sweeped clean the entire bases' runway- when they were done in the evening the sergeant made them dump their backpacks on the tarmac for them to sweep up again the next day! But he said serving in the FFL is the greatest and most profound thing he has/ever will do in his life- he told me he took the selection 3 times [crazy] just to get in; also couldn't seem to get into the SANDF...

  10. Operation Serval! My brother was deployed as a flight engineer with the French Foreign Legion- he said it was the roughest 3 weeks of his life...

  14. Did you know the Russian Territorial army are finally starting to use socks? No wonder all the Russian guys you have to shoot at in X-box games are always pissed off, they're probably trying to steal my socks! Just imagine having to walk around all day with pieces of sheets wrapped around your feet... http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/About/General/2013/1/16/1358341717493/Russian-soldiers-in-Mosco-010.jpg
  15. The Mirage is such an awesomely versitile aircraft- an incredible piece of design... Funnily enough the Swiss airforce really suped them up in the 70's [ called the Mirage IIIS] so they could take off with extra small rockets strapped to be back [JATO assisted takeoff] ] http://www.groundshout.co.za/misc/mirage_iii/mirage_iii_cz_800.jpg
  16. A trick my old man taught me- your steak should match the tenderness of your hand depending on how you like it http://www.meninaprons.net/images/hand_test.jpg
  17. What I've learned in the kitchen -before juicing lemons nuke them in the micro for a minute for more juice -to peel garlic quickly smash them with the flat of your knife; the skin come's off easily -get a good knife, take care of it and it'll last forever -always rest meat for 1/2 the time it took to cook it -don't take your cooking too seriously -buy a dishwasher; saves on water, time and sposal nagging -buy decent quality meat and cook it from room temp, not cold -wash as you go -gas is king -never be open to criticism
  18. The most important thing when cooking meat is RESTING. Was watching TV with the girlfriend the other day and saw this demonstration showing how much juice is lost when you don't rest meat [watch from 3:00]

  21. Speaking of pizzas on the braai- I once spent a month 4x4ing the Gamadulas with a chap who was born in Florence; he used to make pizza/bread dough in the morning, let it rise in the car as we drove and then for lunch had one of those mini rectangular flat braais that he cooked them on- what amazed me was how he would take a beer box and line it with foil [with a few ventalation holes] and turn the braai into an oven! He always carried a pizza stone. He would roll the pizzas SUPER thin with a castle milkstout bottle man was a genius... To make the sauce he would take a few cloves of garlic, half a diced onion, some mixed herbs, some oil and some seasoning and wrap it in a fair bit of foil. He'd then chuck the whole thing in the fire to roast. Then he'd take a tin of tomatoes [a biggish one] cut up the tomatoes in the tin with a scissors, add the garlic/onions and put the whole tin over the fire to simmer [he used to say "it's-a ready only when-a de label burns off " ] then he'd use a potato masher to make the sauce perfect for the pizza Ahh good times...
  22. Bit misleading wasn't it? http://glacier.lbl.gov/gtp/SouthPole/SP-210X.JPG
