Some military observers believe that the new crop dusting specialty in the Marines is a bit outside of the overall mission of the Corps.

I like the new pugil sticks, and the sticks seen to be having fun too. LOL! Great pics of our troops at work. Thanks, Radix.

And I am glad to see tom's campaign workers on the job.

Please, God, may loved ones see loved ones.

MIAMI, Fla., Oct. 4--Two small boats from the Charleston, S.C. - based Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin work to recover approximately 4,000 pounds of cocaine dumped by a fleeing smuggling go-fast after it was intercepted by the cutter and its embarked MH-68 Sting Ray helicopter from the Jacksonville, Fla. based Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron. Four suspected smugglers are also in Coast Guard custody. USCG photo by PA2 Donnie Brzuska

COAST GUARD STARTS NEW YEAR WITH A BANG

4,000 lbs of cocaine seized in the Caribbean

**PHOTOS AVAILABLE**

MIAMI - Crews from the Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin and Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron made a 4,000-pound cocaine bust Saturday afternoon, in the Colombian basin and detained four suspect smugglers from a go-fast vessel.

This bust is the first one of the new fiscal year, which began Oct. 1 and follows a record shattering year in FY 2004 with more than 240,000 pounds of cocaine seized in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean.

The 40-foot drug-smuggling go-fast was spotted by Gallatin’s embarked MH-68 Sting Ray helicopter crew in international waters Saturday at about 4:45 p.m. As soon as the crew aboard the go-fast knew they had been spotted, they began throwing bales overboard and a chase ensued.

The helicopter’s crew gave the go-fast multiple visual and verbal warnings to stop, but they were ignored. At about 5:30, the Sting Ray was given permission to fire warning shots and disabling fire and safely disabled all three outboard engines on the go-fast.

A boarding team from Gallatin was deployed in its over-the-horizon pursuit boat. Once on scene with the go-fast, they attempted to establish the nationality of the vessel, but the suspected smugglers would not provide one. As a result, the vessel was determined to be stateless and subject to U.S. jurisdiction. A boarding commenced and the four men were eventually taken into Coast Guard custody.

The crew of the Gallatin recovered 68 of the bales dumped by the smugglers, each weighing between 50 and 75 pounds, which tested positive for cocaine.

Many thanks to Tonkin for posting the photo in number 315 for me. I was unable to do it. Tonk is a really fantastic guy and a great team player when it comes to freep logistics. Love ya, guy!

The heartwarming photo shows none other than Wanda, our freeper cruise travel agent, welcoming home her Navy son, Jon, from Iraq.

The setting is Twenty Nine Palms, California.....the port on the day he and his Marine unit arrived home.

Jon is U.S. Navy, but he is a Hospital Corpsman stationed with the Marines. The Marines do not have their own medical personnel. They use Navy medics.

Jon was initially stationed on the base at Al Asan (just southwest of Baghdad). He was assigned to the Marines February 7. He and his unit were deployed in and out of their base, including being sent to Fallujah.

He's been in the Navy for a little over two years and has about three years left. Now stateside, he's returning to his regular duty station at the Marine Logistics base at Barstow until February. Then he will be with MAG39 at Camp Pendleton.

Wandsa is our very special freeper cruise mermaid. She works closely every year with me (Bahama Mama) on all the trips. We always have so much fun and smooth-sailing on these cruises, much of it attributable to this wonderful lady.

We join with Wanda in welcoming home her brave (and good-lookin') son. They are part of our freeper extended family. We salute them both for their service and sacrifices for our country, each in his and her special way.

WELCOME HOME FROM IRAQ, JON
