Hi, I was a COIN Ops instructor at Suikerkop in 1984/5, just before the base moved to Boston.

I’m hoping to connect to some of my comrades. There were only 14 of us. Any ideas would be most welcome.

I was a COIN ops student at Suikerkop in 1985. I remember close to the end 3 instructors were killed in a horrific car accident while returning from a year end function

I was a trainee at Suikerkop for the last 3 months of 1983 (basics started July 1983).

To be honest, I would not have been at all sad if all the instructors were killed in car crashes. I guess it was just a couple of dickhead instructors who felt that f__king us around was a fun thing to do, but the group I was in hated the place.
