Hero Worship.
Hero Worship.
Not my fault you're face is always adjacent to the dust in hero worship of your peer (you know the one that wears the dodgy sandals with his deserts). Have a good time on your R & R and drink a couple of pints of 'central heating for tramps (cider) for me.

It's currently 24hrs turnaround, opens at 07-00 and closes at 21-00.
The Cambridge mess rules have been relaxed now so you can go in in Tshirt and shorts but you're still not allowed to wear gym kit in there (although the spams do).
Oh and apparently all mail parcels back to the UK are being scanned now so if you get caught sending fags back you may get a bollocking, or the parcel just handed back to you by the orderly like I did

Anybody had any dealings with a company (Canadian I think) called Atco Frontec? I am led to believe they run the VASS side of things amongst others?
When I was last there I was living 'far far away'. Those of you that have been there will possibly know what I am talking about and we didn't get to the main area much. Where do the contractors live, eat etc? Anyone dealt with them on a regular basis and know much about their setup? I have done the google thing and it spits up the usual corporate nonsense, but I am after a bit of feet on the ground gen if possible.
I am also being told that they run a VASS at Bastion, now unless it has got a feck sight bigger since I was there last year, I think this could be cobblers?
Anything even remotely contentious please feel free to PM me!

Looking at the latest prep signal for OP Herrick it states that 1 Mar - 30 Nov is the high risk season for malaria. Basically if you deploy before 30 Nov or start out around 22 Feb it's the little white tablets for you but between those dates you should be free to run around stark naked and medication free. Personally I only take the chloroquine coz paludrine gives me the ****s!
