know yeah this is literally to me it was real we locked and loaded our weapons and then we did one shipboarding that was you know real and again in in the 90s i was freaking stoked that i got to lock and load my mp5 because we used mp5s back then nice yeah got to lock and load my mp5 and

and board a ship and get control of the vessel and turn it over to the authorities.

And it ended up, it wasn't even like a, it was just some weird situation where they were making some kind of a distress call, but people thought they might be, you know, there might be a hostage situation.

And so, or some kind of, not a hostage, but some kind, they didn't know what was happening.

What kind of ship was it?

Some random... It was a foreign ship?

Yeah, yeah.

Just some random, you know... Like a Maersk or something?

Yeah, like... Smaller.

It was a pretty... It wasn't that big.

They're probably... They're probably...

uh moving dates or whatever whatever kind of produce from one of the arab countries it was nothing it was literally nothing i'm like bringing it up because it's funny that i was excited about it and that's kind of how naive and and into the teams i was did you board it yeah how'd it go cool we took it over you know this is what what happened when you took it over

Yeah, we figured out that they weren't in distress.

But we are now.

Yeah, we stressed them out.

They were actually thankful.

I think they had some kind of problems, some kind of problems with their engine or something like that.

So we showed up, and it was a non-opposed boarding.

But we got to hook and climb.

We put our little water ski ladder.
