I was still in training when that kicked off. I went for 4 months garrison duties about 3 years after the fighting which has never really legally been settled beyond the surrender of land based troops on the islands! We were on 1 hours notice for the whole stint and took full scale ammo and weapons just about everywhere. No R&R there and officially a 2 can limit!
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!

"No R&R there and officially a 2 can limit!"

Must have a been a pretty dry tour, or was there "unofficial" cans to be had?

Beer being a bulk item was shipped in on boats once a month. The RAF choppered in a supply when the bar ran out twice in one month. The seniors turned a blind eye to it as beer was a form of currency among the bennies!

A bit difficult to go anywhere for R&R when it was 18 hrs flight from brize to MPA! Still a week in ascension in the sun may have been a nice thought!
