SAAF officers back from Cuban training

The two woman on the right think they are at a beauty contest?

That's not how you spell 'Havanan whorehouse'.

I am sure some Cubans filled them in on the difference between airmen and seamen .......

Cubans. Those miniskirts and unkempt hair are not SA regulation. But with a Colonel in pink slippers in a supermarket, I'm not sure what the regulations are like now...

And it made the UK news:

South African air force officer reprimanded over pink slippers

Lieutenant Colonel Ruth Ndayi is photographed wearing slippers with uniform to go shopping

They went to roll cigars.

... on the thighs of virgins.

Military strength SA is ranked 26th, its a joke. We've outsourced SANDF equipment maintenance and training both technical and operational to Cuba, guess it payback for the "help" during the Angolan/Namibian conflict.

It's the reason Rooikat armoured cars were deployed to the KZN riots in July last year.

Because the only available Casspirs, which are far more suited to riot control than an armoured car with a cannon and machine guns, were in Mozambique deployed to Ncala.

Hopefully they got in some marching lessons

I'm guessing "how to lift a whale into a truck" is an optional course

 

[Hemi300c]

Useless cunch of bunts

Even that is different. The Cubans do the commie goose step. SA does, or did, the British standard 120 steps per minute quick march.

Old comrades reunited, how nice.

Obviously no KFC in Cuba or they would all be fat asses.

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

What use would Cuban training be?

when the next arms deal comes for ANC fat cats to steal trillions from us again it could well be to purchase Russian jets, Cuban training could give you a head start on understanding Soviet/Russian equipment

although looking at those pics I sincerely hope they stay far away from any cockpit controls

LOL and this was in March

The cash-strapped SA National Defence Force (SANDF) forked out millions of rand on a chartered Air Zimbabwe flight to bring home eight trainee pilots who had failed their eye tests in Cuba.

Already battling budget cuts, a crumbling infrastructure and an internal board of inquiry into nearly R1bn of wasteful expenditure, the latest saga involves the SANDF's vaunted Cuban mil itary training exchange programme, code-named Project Thusano.

Three weeks after their arrival in August, eight of the 12 SA Air Force (SAAF) trainees were told they had failed an eye test conducted with a BIC ballpoint pen and were kicked off the programme. The test required trainees to follow the movement of the pen with their eyes.

The group spent the next five months cutting grass with pangas unt il the SA National Defence Union (Sandu) turned to the courts in a bid to force the Sandf to bring them home, finally sparking some action but at a huge cost.

Thinking it's more a Money Laundering Opportunity MLO.

 

[ArmatageShanks]

The Cubans do have some befokte aircraft though I must say.

 

[R13...]

It would be safer for SA if the ANC just wired money directly to Cuba without these pretenses that we are getting some sort of benefit in training or other skills transfer.

Cuban retirement funds for when SA finally collapses.
