PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Chip, there were sometimes when I loved my job, and others when it was not pleasant ( especially in the War Room behind the glass ). On the whole, I loved it, but being surrounded by people that wished you dead, being missed (I THANK GOD) being blown up by a bomb on Bond Street, putting on a "MAPLE LEAF" pin on my suit to be safe in a Major Urban City was not the fun times! Talking to the "Gray Eagle" on the "lift" and he calling me Mick, and his Marine Guards looking at me funny - that was FUN! Going to Brussels with an Admiral, drinking wine and eating cheese ( then Dan would call me on Monday and the Warrant Officer yelling at me for "fraternizing" with a Rear Admiral ) was HILARIOUS, especially when he told the WO to tell me it is my turn to bring the wine!! But then again, we were not the "typical Navy"!!!!

PO2 Robert M. - Yeah that Marine at the Entrance thought It was a Riot watching the Female Bobby Thump My Ass when I tried to come in during the CND Protest/Street Party. I will say at the end going out to Eastcote and Working with NIS was Pretty Cool. Handling all the Messages for the Debrief of SGT Clayton Lonetree was Fascinating.

..."The 1986 United States bombing of Libya, code-named Operation El Dorado Canyon, consisted of air strikes by the United States against Libya on Tuesday 15 April 1986. The attack was carried out by the United States' Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps via air strikes, in retaliation for the West Berlin discotheque bombing ten days earlier, which U.S. President Ronald Reagan blamed on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. There were 40 reported Libyan casualties, and one U.S. plane was shot down. One of the claimed Libyan deaths was of a baby girl, reported to be Gaddafi's daughter, Hana Gaddafi.[7] However, there are doubts as to whether she was really killed, or whether she truly existed.[8]"...
