Nice to meet you
I'm working on a book that takes place in South Africa (it's about a five man mercenary team on a mission into Somolia) and I need you opinion on how accurate things are. You can find it on the forum under "Mercenary Story (Part 2)". Please check it it out. --Swordfish941 10:50, 13 March 2011 (MSK)
Hi nice to meet you too. Well your book sounds quite interesting by just reading your post. Will analyse it and see what I can do for you.--Mikey 21:30, 13 March 2011 (MSK)
- I hate to be a pain in the ass, but you have to sign up in the forum to leave comments on my book (repeat: it's under the thread "Mercenary Story (Part 2)). --Swordfish941 13:08, 9 April 2011 (CDT)
No it's cool. Just post the link so I can find it. I've tried to locate it under the forum but cannot find the book.--Mikey 10:46, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

Well I just finished reading Mercenary story part 2 and it isn't bad at all. Maybe a few suggestions might do.
- Greg and Katie go down on each other a bit too quickly
- The CR-21 Bullpup would cost well over R2500 on the black market and I don't think it would be "very easy" to get one.
- If these mercenaries did their 2 year duty in the border war they would rather feel much more comfortable using R1's, R4's and R5's rather than the CR-21.
- Shooting a .44 pistol indoors would prove ignorance in gun control(or just plain madness).
In my view things are accurate enough(referring to language use like "Fokken domkop" and "Ja, come in bru"). Maybe as your story goes on your book might become more and more interesting. Good luck bru :)--Mikey 11:25, 18 April 2011 (CDT)
- I have another question. Do they have afternoon tea in South Africa? --Swordfish941 16:44, 23 April 2011 (CDT)
No we don't have a thing like that here in South Africa, maybe British people living in South Africa but otherwise no. Most of the time we have a "braai"(BBQ)on weekends to relax(don't "braai" patties and sausages, more like steak, chops, spare ribs and so on)--Mikey 11:50, 24 April 2011 (CDT)
Hi
Hello, just hollerin' to a new user :) I see you're aiming to become a professional soldier. Me too, I've had it in my plans for quite a while now. I've been thinking of enlinsting in the French Foreign Legion, which, as you stated is one of the best Spec Ops forces in the world. I think I'll try out to become a sniper ;) What are your future intentions/plans? It's always nice to hear from people who respect soldiers. --Warejaws 23:23, 13 March 2011 (MSK)
Ya hey, even though we live in a world where the average soldier is seen as a killer/murderer(which isn't true) I still respect them alot. I'm aiming quite high for a person of my age. I hope to succeed in the South African Special Forces or commenly known as the "Recces". The "recces" are known to be almost the best Spec Ops force in the world, the French Foreign Legion being just above them which kind of makes them second best. What inspired me to become a "Recce" is my friend's dad(a former "Recce" member and Border war veteran)and I've heard alot of stories about what they did during the Border war, which I find very interesting. What do you plan on doing after you graduate in the Foreign Legion?
Hello, and sorry for the (very, very) late reply, I just finished gymnasium school here in Finland, and it's been hectic. Nice to hear that you've set your mind on an honorable goal. My uncle also told me stories about his times as a peacekeeper with the UN forces. That's how I got interested in the noble profession of soldier. But before enlisting into the Legion, I'm gonna have to go through Finnish army training, because we still have a conscript army.
But I think I'm gonna stay with the Legion after I graduate. They have lots of peacekeeping operations and such going on at the moment, so there will be a lot of opportunities to practice my (future) profession.
No it's okay I understand. I've also been busy the last couple of weeks. Ah yes the famous FAMAS (French design, if I'm correct)very accurate and fast firing, very good for jungle warfare. I'm hoping to have the R4(Galil ARM) or R1(FN FAL), but preferably R4, as my service rifle. The Rk 62 rocks and the Galil is based on both the AK and Rk 62. Both the Rk 62 and the AK variants deserve a little more respect though. Just wish that the South African army could be what it used to be like back in the 1980's. Back then the CIA and the west estimated the SADF to be atleast the 9th most powerful army in the world, defeating the USSR, Cuba and communist geurillas in Angola. The Finnish army might not be big, but WOW they are a force to be reckoned with.--Mikey 09:48, 5 April 2011 (CDT)
