I was in the Army and served alongside the RAF in Oman (Masirah and Salalah)...  The RAF Regiment were known as Rockapes and the rest of them as Blue-Jobs...  We (Army) were called Pongo's...  The Pongo was a unique kind of monkey that instead of swinging through the trees when alarmed dug a hole in the ground to protect itself ...  The other meaning for the word Pongo given by the RAF was:  'Everywhere the Army goes the Pong goes'...
