Tacevals
1. UK Taceval in final nuclear phase. It's a hot day, and sitting in our "NBC shelter" (a barrack block with CPX sandbag labels on the windows) after a long period of NBC black, the sweat starts to pool in the S6 respirators. Having seen no distaff for a long time, we decide to relax the dress regulations, but with 1 man delegated to keep an eye out for anyone important approaching the door. Cleverly recognising a potentially career-altering individual approaching in full NBC kit, our lookout donned respirator in the required time scale, exhaling sharply and shouting "Boss, boss, boss!"
2. RAFG Taceval where OC flying in the field is required to carry a Storno in case of no-duff incident, and so that he can be recognised in NBC kit. Realising battery is flat during particularly hectic phase, said officer goes to Eng Ops and asks "Chief, charge this battery for me, please." CT places battery on desk, wags finger at it, and says loudly "Battery, you're on a fizzer."
