I never served in the military, but I did once do a USO tour of Gitmo back in the late 90s. The Seabees loved our band and helped haul our gear around the base to all the different places we were to play that week. They didn't have to help us, but they were great! They were building a road around the inside of the base along the fence line that separated the base from the rest of Cuba. They had recently discovered that the Cubans had no idea where they had buried all their mines on the Cuban side of the fence so they pulled up all the mines on the US side and built a road instead. One of the underwater demolition Navy guys took me on boat tour. We went up one of the canals about as far as we could go. He said if we went any further the Cubans might start taking pot shots at us. He took me diving in the bay too. They were a great bunch of guys. Thanks again!
