Useful Gen thanks.
A read through this thread should tell you most of what you should need to know.
If you have any specific questions then feel free to ask, but your post here is somewhat vague.

I'm going out next year and for my sins I'm attached to the pongoes. I'm wondering whether the accom is tri-service?
I don't mind, but having some RAF sanity in my time off might make my 5-6 months more bearable!
In the meantime thanks for the gen on here, I'm just doing my preps and I'm looking forward to going somewhere sandy.DT_Xtremez_26:

It's sh!t. Not a lot there, really. Not much help I know, but I was passing through there last year on to an even worse place!

New thread maybe? The one and only cookhouse was slopsville when I passed through earlier this year. Things change rapidly though and with the influx of yanks, the whole place may have improved drastically.

If a new thread is wanted, maybe a mod could split it?...
If one isn't around on my return, I'll post one up.

Do it mate............I have a few amendments to make to the KAF thread with regards to it now being a uniform only det regardless to he fact that you maybe off shift. This is an initiative driven by the army zobs who have to **** everyone off to make them feel like they have a purpose. If only they understood that if they did better at school they could have been in the RAF

I did a det on a Type 42 with 3 other RAF guys and I can remember the puzzled looks on our faces when the senior rate in the Mess asking us why we weren't in 'night rig' after we had finished for the day! So I can't wait to get to KAF and have to put up with the green machine and their muppetry.

We had to put up with the same bollocks when I was stuck out with the Fd Hosp at Basrah in 2007. The only place you could wear civvies was in your tent. The CO of the EAW told the Brigadier to shove it up his hoop and let the boys and girls on the RAF side wear what the hell they wanted. Apparently the idea behind it was to make everyone feel the same as the boys downtown on patrol but they never thought that perhaps when the boys get back from a long dusty walk in the desert they might want to change into soemthing different. I'm off to KAF in June, pity that the Army are playing silly f**kers yet again.
