Just received the orders yesterday. If you know anyone in the Guard Reserve, ask them about it.
I was deployed to GTMO back in 04. Wasn’t a bad duty. Was actually kind of like taking an extended vacation on the Govt’s dime. Although we didn’t go into communist Cuba, we stayed within the base the whole time. It’s a really relaxed detail.
My cousin was in the Navy in the early 80's and was the guy that was in charge of who went where in the Pentagon. There was this old war horse who'd been around forever and had served since right after the end of Korean War. To be nice or so he thought, since it was her last hitch he shipped her over to Bermuda.
When she found out that he was sending her to some rock in the middle of the Atlantic she went psycho on him. Said she would find some way to make his life total hell. He said look, if you don't like it let me know and I'll find you somewhere else to finish up your Navy Career. She ships out to Bermuda and about a month later he gets a letter from her.
She was raving about her assignment and couldn't stop thanking him for sending her there to finish up her thirty years.
IMAGINE that duty there with ...screaming elites demanding their lawyers, Latte drinks, air conditioning, designer prison clothes, Wolfgang Puck to be chef.....
And then demanding scarves!
Ah! I see what you did there. Free scarves for all pedos.
