I had the pleasure of spending 4 months at the same Muscat Holiday Resort about 2 years ago as well. Before I went OOA I had formed the opinion that all RAFPs were to**ers too. However, after 4 months I no longer thought this - I knew it! They spent their entire time on security reccees (forget the formal name) - checking out the hotels/ bars/ clubs nobody else could go to and hence catch them at it! Funny none of these locations ever made it onto the approved list of security cleared venues.
Only light entertainment was the Wg Cdr finding all of his security cabinet checks pre-signed for the forthcoming night shift on returning to the office late at night unexpectedly! Priceless!
