THE CAMPAIGN SIGNAL REGIMENT- Op HERRICK 15 The preparation for ECI Inspection was a busy time with every JFCIS(A) UK NOC Ops – by WO1 ‘Eng not Tech’ Avery engineer on deck to inspect vehicles. The operators ensured that the detachment folders were up to date with the Comd JFCIS(A) Col G Fletcher relevant paperwork inserted and faults reported to Sgt DComd JFCIS(A) Lt Col R Carter Rokovada and Foreman Wilson, who provided morale by RSM JFCIS(A) WO1(RSM) K East getting the brews in. As the deployment thunders towards its inevitable banana The majority of the detachment has received assignment boat supported conclusion on the sun kissed sand of Cyprus, orders with the bulk of the engineers having confirmation of the JFCIS team have dismissed any suggestion of premature expected class one upgrade courses. LCpl Darren James was ‘winding down’. It has been impossible though, to miss the not amused by this, as he still has time to do at 1 ADSR, which swarm of activity which has accompanied the ‘Relief In Place’ only encouraged us to wind him up further. We persisted, by most noticeable in the ‘Super’ Kitchen where the standard of freezing his hat in a block of ice! food has risen in order to lull the unsuspecting newcomers into an anticipation of feasts of Gordon Ramsayesque proportions. The weather too has started to play its part, rising like a reverse phoenix from the gloomy rain-lashed swamp like effects of February to the balmy sun-filled sweatbox in which we currently find ourselves. It is to this backdrop that JFCIS have begun nurturing the first green shoots of the RiP, with some replacement personalities starting to filter through and also the seismic move from the comfort and splendour of camp 381 ‘Mercury Lines’ to the squalor of the refugee ‘transit’ camp opposite although the closer proximity (for some) of the ablution facilities has made the transition somewhat easier to swallow.

These moves were to enable us all to get a taster of the other 2 locations that ICS Tp has to cover in the Kabul AO. Their replacements were more than happy to take over and were warmly welcomed by the remaining 2 existing members of our small team here. Sgt ‘Isaac’ Fong and I, Cpl Dan Chick, have settled in very nicely. The ICS detachment has successfully moved location to the UK NSE without an interruption to services. We all worked hard and efficiently, installing all the communications required, from complex fibre patching to plenty of cable lays, all of us having to diversify and call on some valuable Special to Arms training. We are now settled into our new and slightly more welcomed surroundings and are extremely happy to see daylight for the first time in weeks! Another job commitment that cropped up, was lending a hand to the WAN/LAN team installing the Internet into the new blocks and also installing new House Keeper terminals for the Special Operation Force (SOF) team. Between jobs, we have dedicated plenty of time drafting our precious handover notes for 16 Sig Regt that arrives in a few weeks Sig Janine Foster finishing the Camp Souter Half Marathon time.
