Thank god when I was in the corps we were fighting desert wars and not at sea! Glad ya made it. Anyone know who makes the call if they go or not? Is it ultimately up to the pilots? The whole crew? Some pencil pusher somewhere?

Had 2 power skiffs go out from under me, but no C.G. rescues, on those. Waited to get to Juneau, for that. Sure makes you respectful of life, and the water. Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Your orders are for the four of you to go save the five in the water under the most dangerous of conditions in a piece of machinery which is not much more than a loose assembly of thousands of moving parts which do not really want to stay together when it is nice out. i don't understand how those 4 are able to walk given the immense size of the stones between their legs.
