PackRat,
Funny you should mention the Mariel Boatlift, yet another foreign policy triumph of the Peanut Farmer Presidency.
A good friend of mine enlisted in the Coast Guard shortly after completing his Associates Degree at a local community college. He didn't have the $$$ to attend a full blown college to receive a Bachelor's degree, so the Coast Guard was his alternative plan.
Anyway, after completing basic training @ Cape May, NJ he was assigned to a cutter whereupon it was sent to Miami to assist in the Boatlift.
Needless to say he was not amused nor thrilled with this duty.
