Oh dear, Tonkaboys lack of understanding appears to be shared by others who should know better! Anyone who travels to AKT on a regular basis knows that the accom cell don't allocate your accomodation until you actually arrive! In fact it's impossible to get AKT to let you know whether you'll be on or off base before you arrive. (ARCs always prefer Tanker/Receiver crews to be colocated).

99% of AT nightstops(and we're there every week) are spent in Block 101/102 enjoying the lovely 1950's facilities. There isn't any point enduring a 30 min bus ride to a grotty 2 star hotel after you've just done a 20 hour day when you can be drinking a cold beer in a grotty 2 star accomodation block in minutes!!!
