Odd Memorabilia

In the 'handing kit back' thread mention was made of odd bits of memorabilia that we keep from our service and which would completely bamboozle any relative given the job of sorting our kit after we've gone. One such item in my treasure chest is this.



On IOT in December 1980 our tactical camp was at STANTA and I was on the 'aggressor' flight which pitched a separate low-profile camp and was trucked around the training area setting up ambushes against all the other poor souls who were still carrying pine poles from pillar to post in the snow. On the final night the distaff broke out the vodka and presented us each with a 'medal' to mark our bravery in the cause of the Motherland.

It was the only medal I got in 19 years' service.
