Excellent learning curve

We like to do any task that is given to us and get it finished.Rispact is the key to work with lager group of people you give yours and we give it back.You can not build rome alone each day its challanging and out of it the is something that you lean out of a challenging day.I enjoy the communication we have with superior or sinior the solidatity we make is one strong thing.Preparations to any form of task or mission to have the right equipment and obviously on the place on time.

Average learning curve

Being in the SANDF it means to serve the interest of the country and its people in accordance with the constitution and the law by way of providing protection and safeguarding national belongings. As a logistician my work is to support the forces with all property, plant and equipment as well as rations and clothing, shelters needed in the battle and during training exercises as well. It is not an easy task to deal with especially for the fact that I have studied Accounting and now I am placed in Logistics. However to relate with other forces is an easy task to deal with as we have all being trained to leave as one South African family.

Pros: Fair opportunity for promotion
Cons: It is difficult to present new strategies to the superior because you only work on command.

The biggest challenge so far was Sudan where l was tasked to re-establish electricity to Mhala Base in Darfur, Sudan

Pros: slim opportunity for promotion
Cons: 8 to 10 hours a day

Great experience

It's a typical soldiers life, We train hard and discipline is the core everything is done according to commands. You learn to respect your superiors and​ work to earn your place. On a typical day we train we attend course classes. My relationship with my co workers is good as I'm an extrovert and I enjoy meeting different but mostly we give each other team spirit and lift each other up during training. I enjoy how we stick together for the good of serving our country. It's sometimes challenging because of the conditions under which we do our​ training .

Pros: You learn to be more than just a soldier
Cons: Long hours and very physical work
