Almost identical experience
My experience of decomp was entirely negative. I tagged along with another unit that I'd never met and we were stuck at Radiosonde with no option of the beach due to bad weather. The showers were cold, the beds were crap and entertainment lacklustre. And the most annoying thing of all was the beer scam. Yes a dirty underhand scam. You paid 5 euro for 2 beer tokens (oh yes, euros that I hadn't seen or been able to get hold of for months - genius!). Then you could exchange your token, one at a time for an open can of beer. When finished you exchanged your empty can for another one. But if you didn't want the other can (due to manic depression on being stuck at Radiosonde) then you lost your money....
....and some scammer kept either your money or your beer. Nice gig if you can get it.
Waste of time for anyone who has family/a life at home.
Whinge over.
