 Heijs ordened us to strip .All of our clothes had to be removed and piled besides us 

After about two-and-a-half hours in the bus, we were nearing Warmbaths (now Bela-Bela) when we were told to put on blindfolds. About 20 minutes later the bus stopped, and we were told to take the blindfolds off and get off the bus. It was pitch black and we were in the middle of nowhere. Then the shouting started.

Instructors, dressed in khaki, screamed at us to get into a formation, but none of us had been to the army, so it was a complete mess. Eventually we got into some kind of formation, while these guys laughed their heads off at us. They then told us to get onto a truck that would normally transport cattle or sheep.

Before we climbed on, we were searched for contraband, and I thought to myself, "Holy shit, I've got the Bic lighter on the inside of my cap."

Heijs ordened us to strip .All of our clothes had to be removed and piled besides us .We stood there naked stark looking bemused as they searched our pants .

There we were, 30 okes standing naked and being searched, basically spreading our cheeks and opening our arms. The instructors started going through all our clothes, but somehow they missed the lighter strapped inside my cap.

The instructors then took us to a dam, and it was off with our kit again and into the water. We had to wade in up to our chins. It was the coldest water I had ever experienced, and I had never felt so frozen in my life.

We were given a drill where we were each handed a rugby ball that had to be pumped full of water, and when all the balls were full, we could come out. You had to find the ball in the water that had your number on it - there were no names on this camp, each guy had a number, as this was about taking your identity away and then building you up again as a team.

I started to fell hypotermia 

the only way i could manage to retain any body heat was to be hugged in the water by Rauntebach , Rauntebach was the biggest amd heavyeast of us. He offered to hug me i was reallu embarrased but acepted. He treat me wiyh a respect i have nrver seen in mu life. I krep thanking him all the time. When we were told to get of the water he gave me a kiss on the forehead i sat thank you he said anytime captain i love you man. So i tealized i had lived the supreme form of frienship betwen men be body heated by a frienfld.
