Rumor is a certain someone wanted to watch the Super Bowl

Whatever works. A former DD Skipper of mine pulled the boat into Gitmo during the last Haiti Op for a "BSF". He was the first off the brow, came back twenty minutes later with two cases of Bud. Loved that guy.

No, it was a scheduled stop, they were supposed to have been in port earlier but it got slid right due to supporting Haiti.

Yes, I know that their drills were slid to the right. They just didn't have to go back to complete them. They could have gone on with what they were doing.

I gave 5 AME's/AD's a lift from the Wendy's at St. John's Towne Center to the Hooters by Tinseltown on Monday. Nice fellas, just looking for some food, nice scenery, and brew.
