Unhappy

It may seem to some poeple out there that we are moaning because we have to live in an awful little tent (which isn't plesent when 6 of the crew have the S**ts). There is a big differance between a SH Helicopter sqn which is funded and trained to deploy into the field (Which I have worked on in the past) and a 4 engine jet Sqn which has been pitched into a tent at a camp at the side of a runway. A camp which is run with the full blunty back-up, including a SWO, OC Admin, OC Police, OC MT, the full works (we even have a Contract Management Team). Have you ever layed awake at 3 am in the morning listening to a VC10 start up not 400 yards from your tent and thought I've got an 8 hour sortie to do in 3 hour!!!
