A week until I deploy again. But now that I am at a new unit, we aren't cutting holes in the ocean looking for drug runners. The ship I am on is funded in part by the State Department and by SouthCom(Joint Command over the southern hemisphere). So we go down to different countries and teach their navies and Coast Guard forces how to conducte International Law Enforcement, shipboard damage control, deck seamanship, etc.
While down there, I use SouthCom's money to install electronic packages on their Patrol ships and small boats. The idea is if they have a strong Maritime Law Enforcement, the harder it will be for drugs to enter the country. With the drugs coming in comes corruption and narco-terrorism.
Kinda helping them help themselves. Too bad I am not allowed to post publically where I am going, but after each stop I'll post where I have been and post a scouting report. I did hear that there are a couple of places that offer good deals on Rum. :whistling: ]
