View Full Version : Hi and Welcome Minnie
Hi Mr.T "Minnie", and a warm welcome to the forums. :cool:
Welcome Markus. What with Minnie, Mr 'T' and Mark some will wonder who you are. Hope you have a great stay. :)
Morning gents, and thanks for the welcome. The "minnie" comes from my callsign during my stint at the Unit. My name is Mark Tyler. Sorry I only read about the names after I had already registered. :mad: I served under Tony during the 78 - 79 era.

Hi "Minnie" :D do not sweat about the nic you have chosen, your old call sign was a good call. If you do want it changed, you are welcome to pm George Coetzee at admin with your request. I served in 32Bn over a similar period to you. Did you by any chance play hockey during your time at Inf School? I am trying hard to put a face to your name that I remember very well. ;)
You must have had a great experience serving with an Officer and Gentleman like Tony. I have asked Tony, and he cannot remember this guy’s name, maybe you can help. He was red haired Sgt from Paarl I think, a naughty little shit, and think he worked with Koos P. I met him once years later and think he was either a Judge or Prosecutor.

Hi Hagar, now you have me thinking, I remember the guy very well his nic could have been "Tracer", obviosly with the red hair!! I will speak to a mate of mine Piet Steenkamp also went to Infantry School over the same period as us.
regards
That is him !!!! "Tracer" :D Well done, now for his real name :confused:

Welcome aboard Minnie. Hagar, are you guys talking of "the" Sgt. Tracer. If it is the same guy, hell we served together in Golf Coy, a real Bull Terrier of a person. Short, stocky with glasses. If so, then please do not ask me his real name, cause now way I can remember.
Hi Guys, just had a chat with Tony, he looked up the names in Botties's book an lo and behold "Tracer" = L.W. Meyer. Don't have a clue what his initials stand for, maybe somene can help.
Welcome Minnie[ Mark ]good to see another 78/9 member on the board .
Cheers
