Of course in an exercise it is just a formality, right. Wrong.
Akrotiri the GDOC was in 5 Wg HQ on the road out of camp and shared with rocks and plods. NBC Black and the area the size of a large town all masked up. The All Clear was sounded and permission to unmask which everyone in the GDOC did without a thought.
Unfortunately the staish, Air Cdre Stacey, had let off tear gas canisters in the building.
At Endex, as we drove out the base, we saw every window open, curtains blowing in the wind. How we laughed.
