I was assigned to the NAVEUR staff as a selres in the late 90's. I had to get to London on my own. Not a big deal for an airline guy I admit. But almost no one in my unit lived in London and many outside England. Had guys coming in from Germany, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, and Poland. Even a guy from Nigeria (an oil man). We had to get out a map to see which one of us came the furthest. None of us got anything but a room in a modest hotel. O-4 and below would usually have to share a room.
