Sounds like a good result to me Doug, I well remember being sent to an IALCE ? At Corlu in Turkey. The plan was that we lived in tents for the two week push to take and hold an airhead, and extract EU nationals. Day one, someone had the presence of mind to bring a health safety monitor, who sampled the sand that covered every surface of the mess facility, including the food. He stated he had never seen such a high contamination of salmonella and other "big words" ( be kind, I was a GE). The Det Com was a S/Ldr Sean C, of UKMAMS, who immediately moved us to a local 5 star hotel, with a casino and free food on offer (Vegas style). A most splendid trip, though "the boss" managed to roll a Land Rover during our stay. Now, Ksimboy, acronyms ? I'm still not sure what RAF means !!!!!
