Workinghard....

You've obviously never flown at Brize, as mid-point intersection departures are the norm for light a/c (oh, and sometimes C130s!).

RR....

Agree with what's been said, though....most Mil controllers have an assertive style... as long as you are confident on the RT, you'll be fine. Just be prepared for some of the abbreviated terms they'll use - "What type of service?" is a favourite one, if you haven't already told them on initial contact.

See you have an IMC, so best fun to be had at Mil fields (although they don't all have them) is the PAR. You fly the aeroplane, someone else tells you where to put it (very accurately)!
