dkh, what was said by the girls doing the off base callout was often "an Irish gentleman has come and called." The exercise names were classified Restricted but never-the-less not bandied around as parts of the exercise were Secret.
There were not enough exercise rounds so warshot were loaded on Mickey Finn and then off loaded before dispersal. On Mick it was warshot all the way.
When fully generated on a Mick almost the whole force was ready at 15 minutes, fully armed and go bags issued.
Pick the wrong moment and you could have started WW3.
