    It is actually called "Op Olympic" Which is in
    support of the Olympics.

    Is there going to be a medal for those who serve in the OSS*?
    That'll get 'em turned to with all their kit.

    Thought it was so we didn't have to smell all the
    Southern tossers.

    Are you really sure about that, trucker_smudge? I mean, really sure? There will be a lot of people (starting with CDS) that will be quite suprised to hear of the name change.

    Remember your call up papers stated MINIMUM kit.
    So, that'll give you lots of scope to take all your guchi gear so you look all cool and hard for the chicks. I'd recommend taking your guilly suit just incase you end up trackside, that way you'll blend in with the field events area.
