I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The availability of pizza, pasta, and peperoni was the reason why many on the E3D detatchment at Aviano had to buy BMWs to carry their per diem in.

In 1993, unrelated to the Bosnia ops, I had to survive on a mere £150 per day with hotac paid separately as actuals.

By heck it were rough in them days.

PS,

I were only there a week and the per diem had to pay Mrs PN's air ticket (one day's per diem) and the salads and wine while I were 'working'.
