I recall a tale of a Harrier sqn int officer on Day 1 of TACEVAL back in the 80s. Said Int O was in his tent at the Harrier hide 'somewhere in Germany', with the great and the good, plus TACEVAL team, assembled before him for the int brief. He goes to point at the map with his pointing stick, but forgets that a 12x12 tent hasn't got much room when packed with people, and manages to hit the Staish in the eye with the stick. Staish is CASEVACed off the TACEVAL, thereby promoting everyone else instantly, and producing an inject that not even the TACEVAL writers could have thought of!
