one of the SA boys called in a sitrep and we were ordered to remain on perimeter patrol.
Our truck had taken a couple of rounds through the grill and the mash wouldn't plug the leaks so we left it and flanked the other truck on foot.
Later as it was getting dark, we decided to lay up for the night in a thicket.
Myself and Turk with one of the SA boys copped for first watch.
We triangulated the bivy by 50 mtrs and settled down for a long uncomfortable night.
Just after 2 am The SA boy on watch with us crawled over to Kurts position and told him that we had movement about 100 yards out to the east. Kurt sent him to warn the rest of the patrol and crawled over to my position to bring me up to speed.
The rest of the patrol joined us belly down about 5 min's later.
we were the only perimeter patrol in that sector so we were confident that it was enemy infiltration.
One of the SA boys suggested putting up a flare but one look from his nco shut him up.
