#3 Jarhead, the Marines did that in every port call on UNITAS (the booze cruise.)

The Destroyer Tender that I was on did quite a bit of that too - all coordinated by the Chaplain. We did good work.

#4 SH, big roger that bro'. We helped boku orphanages when I was on my 'far east tour' - Japan, Korea, & Oki. Chaplain's always hooking it up - good deal for the lads to go out and do something constructive. Gives them different perspective on things. We were like minor celebrities over there, much like the UNITAS pulling into town in Venezuala. After community service time it's always good to get back to work blowing stuff up.

#5 If the CO in those situations had the same discretionary funds to spend as the commanders in Iraq have, it would be fun to see the boost to the lcoal economy that would result from adding extra work farmed out to supporting local contractors.
