1985/6 time and a young SAC N4 was on on the Base side of UKBags. 4 day Minival is about to called. Part of the Base shifts war role was to reinforce the grown up side of MAMS and deploy to meet the invading hordes. I was looking forward to 4 days of gas masks / NBC suits etc / compo sausages in the mess but was told to come in for the ex with my kit packed as I was being deployed. So thinking it would be like Bspatz's deployment - as far as the MAMS crewroom, I came in with minimal kit to be told that we were off to Gib....GIB!! Well a quick dash back to the block grab more appropriate kit then DPM and Tin hat (shorts / T-shirts) and 3 of us spent 4 days enjoying the sub in Gib. Even more so when the Movers out there said they had no idea what we were doing there as they hadn't asked for reforce and especially as they had no more aircraft through until the one we were due home on.
