P.A.P.E.R.C.L.I.P.
That was the longest six months of my life. December 15, 2006 - 22:54:36
San Diego, I never thought i'd be so happy to see it. Maybe in the coming days I'll post more stories from southpac, but most of them are boring. Here's some stuff i wasn't allowed to say before and some interesting totals 27 Tons of cocaine confiscated with an estimated street value of $700 million. (Yes, almost a billion dollars of cocaine. It is a massive amount.) 6 fishing boats that it was pulled out of. 1 burning speedboat. 1 burning speedboat that we ran into. $300,000 estimated damages to our ship from running into burning speedboat. 49 narco-terrorists (The Navy's word for them, not mine.) apprehended 5 of those drug runners that needed to be medevaced after they set their own fishing boat on fire. 4 times that we got liberty in Panama 1 time that we got thrown out of panama 3 other times that we should have gotten thrown out of panama. In summary, we broke the records for tonnage, dollar value, detainees, total busts. Rather cool, but it still seemed like a waste of time. Very glad to be done of it. If you should see me in person while i'm on leave I'll gladly share more specific stories with you, but I really don't feel like going into them here. Later - Winchester |
