Straight from the Army to The Hotel School in Braamfontion...There we were first years students, about seventy-five in total...Living in residence and been ruled by a few second-year students for the first few weeks...Going out in the evenings was a no-go unless we were accompanied by them...Free, free drinks they thought they would be getting from us...Haha, we all laughed and rather remained in our rooms listening to music and chatting and getting to know each other better and where we had come from... Slowly, slowly the days went by and we were all getting into the swing of things...It was Friday and we had all plans to go out in the evening to paint the town red, but that was not to be... During the evening dinner, the few senior students stood in front of us and said, no going out this evening, because tomorrow morning will be " Initiation Saturday..." for you all, and you will all have tasks to do...You will have not option but to do what you have been told what to do...Some students had to scrub the Jeppe Post Office steps with a toothbrush, while others would have to dress up in Drag and stand at Robots in the city with collection boxes, collection money for a charity...Some would have to parade down Eloff Street dressed like Babies...In nappies and dummies in their mouths...There were a few of us who had not been allocated to any groups as yet, there we smiled and muttered lucky us when Dries who was chairman of the Initiation. looked at me and said, " You not so lucky...You will have to go and buy a Ladies Bra from John Orr's in Eloff Street at Eleven thirty...Looking at Dries I muttered why eleven-thirty...He looked at me with a big grin and answered because John Orr's will be extremely busy then...Haha, he sighed... Looking at Dries I asked so who will be there to see that I will be buying the Bra...Dries looked at me with an even bigger grin...That will be me... he replied...Looking at him I muttered, " I hope to see you there...Dries looked at me and said, " Big Mouth we will see how big your mouth will be tomorrow..." I just laughed and never said another word... It was Saturday morning and everybody was dressed up and ready for their various tasks... It was just before ten and we were all ready to make our way towards the city center...The streets were a hustle and bustle of people, and everyone was looking at us as we walked down the street...Some laughing while others were passing rather nasty comments...There I was with a smirk on my face as I knew exactly what I was going to do...Into John Orr's I walked, with Dries following a few steps behind me...I walked over to a sales assistant and asked her where would I find the ladies underwear...Looking at me with a smirk on her face she asked me..." what is it you want to buy???" Dries answered before I could say a word..." He has to buy a Ladies Bra..." The sales assistant looked at me and muttered do you know the size...Looking at her I muttered not really...She pointed in the direction and said, "there is the counter over there..." I walked over in the direction of the counter...There I was standing in front of the counter, looking at all the Ladies' underwear...Around and around the counter I walked, making as if I was getting rather embarrassed every time I circled the counter but keeping a good look at where Dries was standing with a big grin on his face, and looking in my direction...There he was standing next to the pillar with the biggest grin on his face...Around the counter, I walked again, stopping in front of the Ladies Bra's which read size 44 double DD...I picked up one and opened it, looking at the bra spread wide open, I suddenly turned around and looking at Dries, I yelled out... "Dries will this fit your mother..." Embarrassed as hell Dries disappeared from the store... Back at residence having lunch in the dining room and talking about what had happened at John Orr's Dries walked into the dinning room and walked over to our table, and stared straight at me and in an angry voice muttered, " You think you fucking funny..." Allan sitting next to me burst out laughing and stood up and muttered to Dries..." Haha, so you met your match today...Dries looked at Allan and muttered hope you don't play rugby...Allan looked at Dries and muttered you will have to wait and see...That was the end of the initiation for the year...
