bspatz, you remind me of my Taceval deployment to Gibraltar, aka OMQ at St Eval. Now it was a Part 1 Taceval and having been out of UK the previous 4 years I didn't know anything about Part 1s.
Anyway, enjoying my second unexpected day at home, and no telephone in those days (too expensive), I didn't find the note through the front door later that night "Where the hell are you?"
No one had told me the exercise had finished the day before.
