- 0:06Speaker 3: Be Hello sailor boy, my sailor sun Festus in Diego, Garcia.
- 0:14Speaker 2: He has reached his destination.
- 0:15Speaker 3: We talked the other day about the welcome basket that
- 0:19Speaker 3: he had not upon his arrival.
- 0:22Speaker 1: It's great to be ownership with men, and say across
- 0:25Speaker 1: the CEO. We don't know where or we don't know when,
- 0:27Speaker 1: but it's great to be with men.
- 0:29Speaker 3: And so I saw some pictures of his room, but
- 0:32Speaker 3: I said, I'd love to see some some get an
- 0:35Speaker 3: idea of what the island is like. So he sent me, Uh,
- 0:39Speaker 3: this video that at x ninety six dot com slash
- 0:43Speaker 3: live it so.
- 0:45Speaker 1: They live on the beach. Apparently looks like a resort.
- 0:48Speaker 4: I said, is this vacation kind of a crummy resort,
- 0:51Speaker 4: but you know, like some sort of the.
- 0:54Speaker 3: If you if you can't see it at x ninety
- 0:56Speaker 3: six dot com slash live.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Uh, there's a bar and a bunch of Is.
- 1:03Speaker 1: That a bar or a bait chet?
- 1:04Speaker 2: It's a bar and.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Uh, there's some some tables, some lounge chairs, white sand beach.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Say, I've been on that beach in Mexico somewhere gorgeous
- 1:15Speaker 2: aquamarine water.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I'd say he made a good choice.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I said, how far is this from your apartment?
- 1:21Speaker 3: He said, it's ten minutes ten minute walk to get
- 1:24Speaker 3: to the beach there. I don't know why the Navy
- 1:28Speaker 3: isn't using videos like this to try to recruit people
- 1:32Speaker 3: to join the Navy.
- 1:34Speaker 2: And I said, well, how's your how's your first week gone?
- 1:37Speaker 3: And he said, well, I went to jiu jitsu class, well,
- 1:42Speaker 3: bought snorkeling gear, went snorking.
- 1:44Speaker 4: He's on vacation, Well he's I mean he also has
- 1:49Speaker 4: to you know, treat take you know, athletes foot and
- 1:53Speaker 4: siph listen.
- 1:54Speaker 2: No, so, so he.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Told me about his first patient he had. So because
- 2:00Speaker 3: they are on a tiny island in the middle of
- 2:02Speaker 3: the Indian Ocean. Uh, they are the only medical facility,
- 2:06Speaker 3: not just for the military, but if something civilian happens
- 2:12Speaker 3: on a boat nearby, they're it. So I guess there
- 2:18Speaker 3: was a civilian boat where somebody had a big, heavy
- 2:22Speaker 3: piece of metal fall on this guy's leg and crushed
- 2:26Speaker 3: his leg. And the closest medical provider was this island. Now,
- 2:32Speaker 3: you can't dock a civilian boat there at the island.
- 2:36Speaker 1: This is all controlled by the military.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole island is.
- 2:40Speaker 3: It's the only thing that's on there and Diego Garcia.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And so I guess that the.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Ship radioed in saying, hey, we got a hurt guy
- 2:50Speaker 3: out here. So they sent one of those blow up
- 2:54Speaker 3: speed boats.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And you know what I'm talking about.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Is that what they're called to go out to the
- 3:01Speaker 3: civilian ship to pick up like a like an ambulance
- 3:06Speaker 3: boat ambulance, Okay, to pick.
- 3:08Speaker 2: The guy up and bring him back to their clinic.
- 3:12Speaker 3: And I guess he was in fairly bad shape because
- 3:15Speaker 3: they just sort of patched him up and then they
- 3:17Speaker 3: had to meta vacuum out to a.
- 3:20Speaker 2: More established hospital. But I didn't realize that that.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Yeah, they are it for medical care for hundreds of miles.
- 3:28Speaker 1: And this is this is a strategic naval base. Is
- 3:33Speaker 1: it a naval base?
- 3:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a naval base.
- 3:35Speaker 3: There are other likes the air forces there too, again
- 3:40Speaker 3: because it's it's kind of a jumping off point to
- 3:42Speaker 3: other places.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But if you have to go bomb India.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, so far jiu jitsu and snorkeling and
- 3:51Speaker 3: drinking beer on the beach.
- 3:54Speaker 4: I gotta I gotta say though that I mean that
- 3:55Speaker 4: looks pretty, doesn't nice?
- 3:57Speaker 1: It looks except it's a little low rent.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I mean it's no resort, you know, well no, but
- 4:02Speaker 4: it's all kind of makeshift furniture. And but just the
- 4:05Speaker 4: fact that that's and I still I think that's a
- 4:07Speaker 4: bait house.
- 4:08Speaker 2: No, it's it's a bar.
- 4:09Speaker 1: How do you know?
- 4:11Speaker 3: Because you can't really it's not close enough to sign there,
- 4:15Speaker 3: says bar.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Oh, looks like a bait shack.
- 4:19Speaker 2: No, I mean there probably is a bait shick.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Can I get a bunch of worms?
- 4:25Speaker 2: It's yeah, I can't stop.
- 4:27Speaker 1: The video, but I think that would be nice.
- 4:29Speaker 3: I mean I am more and more happy that that's
- 4:33Speaker 3: where he is. I think this is a good place
- 4:36Speaker 3: for him.
- 4:36Speaker 1: But you can't go visit.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Nope, I can't go.
- 4:39Speaker 1: And does he have leave at all?
- 4:41Speaker 3: Uh?
- 4:41Speaker 2: But he probably can take leave. Maybe we'd meet in Singapore.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Maybe he has to go.
- 4:48Speaker 3: He has to take a military plane off there to go,
- 4:52Speaker 3: so he just kind of has to hit your ride
- 4:53Speaker 3: wherever wherever they're going.
- 4:56Speaker 2: But so far it looks pretty.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Things are going wonderful. All right, Well then that is
- 5:03Speaker 1: hello sailor boy.
