ok ok..Im sorry... so you slept on a campbed in Basra and and masirah and Kuwait etc etc...hang on, hang on...Why didn't you book into the Sheraton in Basra..? Was the Hilton in Kuwait full?
Oh, I get it. Im sorry. You only sleep on campbeds when there isn't a plush hotel to go to. Yep, I understand now. and thats why the statement "we all work from the same rule book" isd B**llocks. Only the pizza boys work with that rule book.

You are correct! Most International airports object to us putting tents up on the edge of the apron, no matter how much we try and explain that we are military and by definition therefore wish to make life as difficult for ourselves as possible.

I've just spent a fortnight on a campbed in a HAS at Honington and very comfy it was too.
Sculthorpe last year.
Any other questions?

So when was the last time a truckie had to sleep in the Hangar on a campbed?
When was the last time a truckie has to sleep in the back of the aircraft cos we'd "run out " of camp beds?
Any other questions?

Since I've started posting I seem to have aimed the lion's share of my more bile filled retorts at you.
Are you a fisherman(no pun twards RN intended)?
Do you post with the view to stoke the fires and generate a little dicussion.
If you are the resident devil's advocate, fair nuff.
However, I sometimes get the impression that you are just an objectionable s
t.
There I've said it.
BTW. If there's a decent room going at a nice gaff, for god's sake stay in it. Take what you are given. I don't begrude any crew on any fleet making the best of what they've got where they are.
We are all volunteers after all!!!
