Guys you have my sympathy having to live there in tents, I spent 4 years out there and one night in a tent was enough. If the powers to be will not put you in Hotac nd it seems from these posts that they will not, have you tried to get them to move the tents up to Lansab, the RAFO accomadation base 15 mins up the road, at least there you will have some of the home comforts, and I am sure the messes up there would appreciate you being there. During Gulf war 1 there were Nim crews based there in some of the RAFO accomodation. It may not be the best solution it may already have been looked at but if it gives you guys a break it may just be worth looking at.
Thats all.
