(additional edit: BTW con, did you transport any of those macheteros?)
Sorry, missed that. Took me a minute to figure out what you were referring to.
Err, yes I did and no I didn't, if you get my drift. Long story but a good one.
We used the ANG Base at San Juan quite a bit when I was with the USMS. It was a good trip, always out and back on a Saturday and along with true time and a half, we also received 3/4 day per diem, which was about a hundred bucks in the winter time, high tourist season rates. And about the only thing I bought down there was a coke out of the coke machine. I volunteered for every one of those flights.
