Indeed. An SAC supplier left the secret airbase where I worked and got a job with a national company based in our nearby county town. My daughter worked there too and put 2 and 2 together.
I knew the supplier by sight but not by name as he was only a casual worker in the WOC; the Logs desk was normally manned by Cpls.
I'm pleased to say that he did not b*tch about me. I try and treat people as capable and competent bearing in mind that every man jack and jill of them was a volunteer.
