  Speaker 3: have no gambling, you don't. It is now what he
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: said about it, And I found this article that made
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: me feel a little bit better about it. This article says,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: what's it like to be stationed at Diego Garcia. It's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the Navy's best kept secret.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: It is apparently spectacularly beautiful. And I have a picture
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of that as well that Katie White put up so
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: that it is actually it is white sand beaches, oh wow,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and turquoise blue water, lush, beautiful, you know, tropical paradise.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Diego Garcia was discovered by Portuguese sailors in fifteen twelve
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and remain uninhabited until the French began using it as
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a Leper colony hole and for coconut plantations in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: eighteenth century. After the Napoleonic Wars, the island was answered
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to British control and remain part of Mauritius until nineteen
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: sixty five, when it became part of the newly formed
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: British Indian Ocean Territory.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: He's like, He's like, it'll be like being on Gilligan's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Island for a year. And I said, oh, then you'll
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: have random celebrities washing up on shore once and Russian ghosts.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Now there was a there was a native population there
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: as well, the Chagosians. The Chagosians. Between eighteen nineteen sixty
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: eight nineteen seventy three, the remaining Chagosian inhabitants were forcibly
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: removed to make way for a military base.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: It's a British or it's not American.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: It's a British American. Now what can you do there?
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: You can fish, you can.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Serve is the sing Cary says he's going to be
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: treating a lot of alcohol poisoning and fight injuries.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: So here's what.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to have a talk with Festus about
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: this because this article I read said if you go here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Uh so nobody has their family or spouse. These are
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: all because it's not a family deployment. You either become
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a hunk, a drunk, or a monk.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Well, he'll be a hunk, and I'm going I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: it's going to.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Be a drunk monk because the only things to do
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: apparently are workout, drink or you know, be contemplative and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and you know, think about your place in the world.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You should say that, like, it's either or he could
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: do all three of those things.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I think he could be a hunky monk, a hunk
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: monk who likes to drink.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: There are feral donkeys on the island ferl.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So. I when he first told me that, I was like, well, okay,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: it's not Poland, and I actually feel like he's probably
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: safer here than anywhere. It's not close to anything like
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think it would ever be.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are tsunamis and I believe that there
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: are missiles that could reach there.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And it's it's not far from India and you know
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we're getting some problems there.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: But yeah, anyway, so, so he's excited. He's excited. When
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: does he go, well, he hasn't got the official orders yet.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I'm going to see him next weekend, just because now
• 7:18

• 7:22
  Speaker 3: What I told Joe last night is Okay, he's seventeen
• 7:26

• 7:38
  Speaker 4: and go see you.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, I well know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Somebody says, why I made the joke. Somebody says, Gina,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I had friends whose parents were in the military. They
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: lived in Diego Garcia and loved it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Diego Garcia is often referred to as fantasy island because
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it's so secluded.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Welcome and see.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I would have said Greece if I well, no, that

  Speaker 3: was his first choice, but because there was somebody ahead
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: of him, he had to go with next choice.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at pictures of Diego Garcia and it looks
