The FOD man of Kinloss

A few of the troops had spent an evening in a local hostelry. Apparently someone, no names mentioned (his initials are Joe Mohammed) allegedly instigated the kidnapping of the FOD man from the main gate. They somehow managed to perch him precariously on the top of the water tower. The following morning the Station Commander called the team out to retrieve the FOD man and return him to the gate. It turned into a full exercise with the Medics arriving in the 'Meatwagon' to take the 'casualty' off for treatment. I don't think anyone was actually blamed for the incident as they used the MR victimization clause to avoid further action. Needless to say we weren't flavour of the month!
