And back then that, um, war patrol, I think they just wanted us

out of their hair.

Um, so they were having some sort of a big meeting, um, and a big do not disturb meeting.

And, uh, I got assigned to the skeleton crew to sit back on the SMS, uh, uh, excuse me, the receiver.

That's basically region six, or that's why they called it JTF six.

So they knew all the cocaine's coming through this one area, but the local authorities back then
