OMG ... pets in the Tower [is this a deviation?].
1. EGXW ... exercise called for V-Force, and you can't arrange kennels at that sort of notice. "OK, bring the dogs and keep them in the Crew Room/Coffee Bar." The Tower was dog city for a few days, but they were VERY well behaved.
2. EGXW ... again on exercise, Cpl Lorna brought her gerbil to work. The expression on the TACEVAL man's face when we used her gerbil to do the CBW 'sniff test' was perfect! I don't think Lorna ever forgave me for that!!
