Do you know any tips for fellow tropers that would aid them when interacting with your workplace? Best times to order food from your working restaurant? What questions to ask from the car dealership you contact? Where to find the highest quality product from the store, and how to get coveted/forgotten deals?

I think we should add an addendum not to tell anything that might get you in trouble if your company were to somehow find out.

You never know, some places aren't good about educating people on what they should and shouldn't tell.

Carry a radio and know how to use a chart. Seriously. It's been the difference between 'Hi, I'm at X, come and get me!' and '...and they were never seen again...' on many occasions.

My old work had one. "Never let an officer read a map."

What happened when this was ignored? The same officer, years apart, nearly parked the Land Rover I was travelling in in a loch (lake, or bloody big puddle depending on what part of the world you are looking at it from), and then parked the whole regiment in perhaps the worst terrain for the type of training we were supposed to be doing that he could think of. And nearly lost the whole lot of us due to B-52 sized midges attacking the crap out of us.
