Most of you Ascot types know this, but there are two types of Army customer, and they will;
1. Get stuck somewhere on an AT Flight, convince the Responsible Officer that it makes sense for everyone to be in the same Hotel as the Aircrew, as anyone can be uncomfortable. Good time had by all.
2. Get stuck somewhere on an AT Flight, immediately lose any sense of command responsibility, spend hours in a transit lounge because that's what everyone else does, develop a burning hatred for anyone and anything that ever came out of Brize/Lyneham and spend the next 22 years whingeing about how crap the RAF are.
All it takes to be type 1 is balls and a sense of responsibility, all it takes to be type 2 are matching chips on each shoulder and a desire to drag everyting down to the lowest common denominator when it comes to comfort.
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
