Real quick as so not to spoil the true story being told. I was in Guantanamo on the navy base in June of 1992. I'm sitting in the Mc Donalds scarfing down a quarter pounder with a few of my fellow Coasties, and who do I spy sitting across from me, but a fella I went to Carmel High with. Turns out he's in the Navy and his sister who graduated CHS with me is in the Air Force. Good times, Good times.
