Sorry for taking so long to reply, I´ve only just got up! And its such a long ride from the Radisson to Camp. You should have seen the queue for the Breakfast Buffet this morning, it was shocking!

Injects eh? Try this one for size:

The JFAC deploys on a major NATO readiness ex and, halfway through, they all fly home Civ Air! In any case we were told to make it as realistic as possible for you guys, so If you´re sitting on your @rse with nothing to do in a freezing hangar, I guess we achieved that objective.

Got to dash, I´m off for lunch.

Sounds like you need your mother. Allied Warrior? Isn't that some skiing exped in Norway? Norwegian women, hotels and rates! I suggest you get yourself on a real exercise, or better still on a real op, before you start complaining sunshine!!!

oh lighten up, its only banter. fcuking Trogg!

Lighthearted joking aside, this thread is all about the ex experiences that people have had, good or bad (but preferably bad).

It sounds like you´ve got a bit of time in, thickmick, so why don´t you amuse us with your stories? Or are you just a boring b@stard who comes on here trolling for an argument?

Keep on rolling.

Fcuking Trogg!

Firstly, we're supposed to be training for war, so I won't lighten up and secondly, what is a Trogg? Is that just an officers' way of insulting a JR?

Just to clear up your ignorance fella, AW 05 is a JFAC CPX, run in order to allow NATO to sign the unit off as battle-ready for NRF 06.

The JFAC has been deployed to Montijo AB in Portugal where they are occupying a Mosquito-infested swamp, that must be freezing at this time of year. They are living in tents, not recieving LSSA because their flights got messed up and had to spend something like 3 days at South C, because Land would not release them. These guys are very much trg for war.

The EXCON have depolyed to Stavanger in Norway to a disused Naval Base to formulate the injects and run the Ex. Who decided this, I do not know. Whilst we are not really in the local hotels, our Service accomodation is significantly better than a 12 x 12 in a swamp! The JFAC are enduring realistic conditions, although you might disagree and feel they should be living in an earth-bunker, plotting ac tracks on chalk boards and communicating by Semaphore, I suspect that you are a bit of a Johnny 2-Sh*ts.

BTW, a Trogg is another word for a Caveman and, whilst not applicable to anyone in general, I think it is more than apt to describe your 2-line contributions to this website.

Formulating insects, sounds like biological warfare to me.... I thought that that was banned these days? How do you get your insects from the frozen north to the not so frozen south, and do they all need swamps?

The insects were originally intended to be frozen in Norway and then sent to the Gulf to assist the Iraqi Army, but the Movers at BZZ put them on the wrong aircraft and the next thing you know, they're only sharing a swamp with the JFAC!

Although rumour has it that the insects are on rates.

Beware M, if the Norwegians think that they come from the sea, they may introduce them as a new delicacy!!

I remember Wet Through too, useless siting, TSW pretending that they knew everything and the rest of us putting up with their pathetic antics. Happiest moment was flying home on the fat albert......oh to be a wing warrior, NOT!

It could be because of the CAX tool you could be using for the mission planners, the Norwegians have a lot of expertise in this area and supported a recent ARRC exercise at Bruggen as well. :cool:

Is anybody off to Cape Verde for STEADFAST JAGUAR?
