His assignment was guarding missiles which had a dual key system - one was in the possession of UK forces, the other of USA forces. When one of the key-holders wanted to go off base for a while, they would hand the key over, often to this most junior person simply because he was not allowed to wander off. You will by now have realised that quite often both UK and USA key-holders passed their keys to the same person at the same time... I too am an ex-O2 customer.
