I have been on numerous overseas EQ exercises and I have NEVER stayed in a hotel!
As for swanky, Kuwait was in the middle of nowhere, 100% dry and the food average at best. This was coupled with numerous bollocks rules, crap dust and a plethora of tech issues. Kenya we were on anti-malarials that had most of the det having crazy nightmares and with Gastric upset for the 6 weeks. Half of the det ended up living in 12x12s for some of that time whilst eating rat packs!
The worst accommodation was in Kuwait where I was in a 40 man room with the US Army up at 0600 every morning doing phys for 100 approx 20’ from our tent. Kenya was in a cattle shed (no really!).
So I may have missed the time when JHC had a secret stash of money to pay for hotels....
