Gotta take precautions against doxxing

You presume I've not done that? Some of my posts here are a result of off-thread interactions with posters here.

Of course my posts are now circumscribed, seeing DI tracked and reprimanded me. I made the mistake of logging on here on my personal laptop on the work network.
The good thing is that the general SANDF social media policy is now under review.

AndrewZa, how do you guys get anything done in this beautiful city? Wind-surfing at Blouberg this morning, defended my Master's thesis at Stellies this afternoon, going to a Michelin star restaurant for supper this evening.
As a 17-year old when I came to UCT for my undergraduate studies 2 decades ago, this was a sleepy collection of villages .

Now I could be in Barcelona, San Francisco or the better non-3rd World Mediterranean sections of Croatia!!!

Hrmnn, driving to AFB Overberg on Friday and will stop over at Somerset West for the pics I promised.

Now you know why all jobs in cape Town take twice as long to do as in joburg

The Russian military is designed to successfully fight 2000 miles away from its borders. That is why countries that fall under this radius are always afraid of a Russian invasion.

Really? Maybe with a limited force but Russians logistical support is not like America or even Europe

Really so no longer getting reprimanded for posting face book pics of the ship leaving Harbour even though SAAG forum has pics of those ships leaving posted before the face book update.

I thought that was really ridiculous. Doug over at the http://www.saairforce.co.za/forum/ got a notification about OPSEC when it came to taking pics of the sub leaving on a classified 40-day deployment.
Weeks later, the Navy News magazine asks him for permission to use his pics of the sub departing !

the cannon shell was already pointing on MikeCZA head... but as a true African gentleman you took the round for him... Hehehe

Even with a gun on my head I'll still call your article what it is mate!

Can fellow Saffers please explain to me why Joburg Metro Police has a SWAT unit? Smells suspiciously of someone wanting to operate operationally . Surely any incident requiring such a unit would be kicked up to SAPS ?
Didn't even know they existed until I heard they were also interested in the Black Hornet Nano UAV.
Investigated and they're actually currently testing the SIG SG 516 Patrol !

It's a city police department whose mandate is to enforce city by-laws, FFS!!!

I have Mmusi Maimame on my speed dial, I'll ask him

Kdf donating essecial medicines to a recent mogadishu bomb victims and also evacuated about 40 victims critically injured to Nairobi.

The whole thing was set up when the ANC ran Jozi. Maybe the DA will shut it down?
Imagine a hostage situation at a jacked City-owned hi-rise in Hillbrow: STF shows up (as they should), and Jozi Metro SWAT is already on site...

Who's in charge?

Kdf donating desks and blackboards among other stuff to a school in Southern somalia.

STF, they're more experienced of course. Even some security companies have SWAT units, this is crazy.

The STF secures the outside perimeter.

And watch the drama unfold

Where was the sub going? For 40 days even. You can share, we won't tell anyone.

Hostages misidentified in the confusion, bang bang

Don't trust the Metro Police.

To be fare intelgince and public relations are two separate departments. Though both use the same photographers one want pics to never see the light of day the other want to show all of them.

Saps all way our rank metro in.

The Durban Metro Police bought Casspirs. The ish is getting serious, God knows what's happening in those Metros. Cape Town didn't get the memo.

Tatical response teams for security companies makes sense though. That not even uncommon across the world

They got it. They have a Tatical response team.

So Jozi and Cape Town have metro police elite units?
Why? I play my music a bit too loud and a SWAT unit shows up?
Sounds too much like bureaucratic empire-building to me.
Everybody wants to operate operationally .
Then you end up with this nonsense

I don't see a issue with that. In a urban area a 9mm carbin makes sense. It less likely to rip through a target and the wall behind him. I mean no real diffrince if she had a uzi or BXP other than at the end of the day they can strip this back to being a pistol.

Why carry extra mags when you can carry another pistol?

Crime in those cities is exceptionally high, every bit of specialised units help. Cape Town should be adding more specialised units, the crime in the Cape Flats townships is out of control.

Maybe she didn't want to wear a tactical vest? Just bring 2 pistols.. Two is better than one, right?

I take a pipe, and I'm infuriated when civilians refer to SF Operators as "pipe-hitters".
This guy though...go on and I'll give you a pass...

She has 2 pistols. Surely 1 pistol + Roni contraption would be enough. Then use the thigh strap for extra mags.
As it is, her superfluous load-out is unprofessional and conveys the message that our military police don't know what they're doing!

Anybody here remember the state of emergency in the 80s when this used to happen?

I all was thought the pistol was in the event the primary was lost, damaged, Jamed or when in tight areas. So it not a issue for me.
