I did a maxi mash at Wegbeg where they did a full exercise with us all roped in as wounded to be casevaced into the hospital by Chinook etc, as the wounds etc were to look realistic and clothing would be damaged we were shown into tents full of clothing stores returns to dress up in, some of it was brand new and we were like kids in a sweetie shop, my kitbag was full when I left along with the spare one I got out of the tents.

Returning my kit at Brize was interesting, having humped it all down there, I had to keep it all for the reserves, the guy with me turned up still in uniform and they wanted it back off him, as he had no civi's with him, they took his beret and belt off him which I thought was rather pathetic.
