Trust me on this one, it's not just the troops at breaking point. The rotary guys are working themselves to the bone to support BLiar et al. There is nothing better than having over 1/3 of a sqn away at any one time, only to find that some/most of the support elements of the military struggle to do the simplest of jobs (ie support the deployed lads and lasses). It is rather a shame that the work ethic that I have come to learn and love at my place is not echoed around the non-formed unit peeps.
Those out there can figure out that with that many away, the roulements come round rather too quickly. I'm fully awaiting Southside to poke his head above the parapet and offer some words of wisdom, but for his sake, I recommend he keeps hunkered down.
