OC Tiddlywinks ?? We would have given our right arms for that.... try OC Wives Club, or OC barrack block 'X' (insert name of dive, full of unwashed rock apes).
Jenny, I'd just like to paraphrase my comrade-in-arms, the Wee Welshman - there will be some people there, probably with a surname like Whittle or Gibson, distantly related to men of yore, who claim to have single-handedly flown a hang-glider around the world, pausing only to save the Massasui tribe from certain extinction by hand-digging a series of wells and then erecting a global communications system in the new hospital block they constructed to attract foreign aid investment.
Ignore... smile politely, learn their names, hope you're not on the team exercise with them.
I found it very useful on the first night (every time I went !) to invite the boys and girls to the bar and get to know them, by name. By the end of the evening you will know who to entrust the construction of the obligatory tripod to (all will become clear) and who to abandon to their doom when the time runs out.
Here's some discussion points that came up time and time again...
What do you think of marriage ?
Should homosexuals be allowed in the Armed Forces ?
Why is country X ravaged by civil war ?
What would you do about it ?
or..
How many variants of Harrier are there ?
What are they ?
Why are they ?
You get the drift...
If you haven't already, I highly recommend an Outward Bound course or similar. Quite a learning experience, especially the tougher ones, and the RAF absolutely *love* stuff like that. Experiences like that are invaluable.
As always, best wishes
