So entonces my 6 month TAD to US MAAG Lime, Peru’s JPAT lasts 3 years and I am being replaced by no less than three US Marines. It bemused me that even though the State Department had basically taken over my riverine counterdrug program lock, stock, and barrel the Major who replaced me started bitching about being overworked from before I was even wheels up.
I never did get to see Mach Pichu because I had saved it for my end of tour award to myself. A torn ligament in my left knee on my last op put an end to that dream.
Checking out of SouthCom in Panama, City, Panama and my USMC Colonel tells me he wanted me but so did Colonel “Iron Mike” Williams at Special Operations Training Group (SOTG). He let me go to SOTG because Iron Mike needed my skill sets more than did SouthCom.
Next thing you know I am approaching the Darien Gap yet again but for the first time from the Colombian side of the border. The nearest sexy señoritas were in Turbo, Colombia FYI.
ST UnWoked & UnVaxxed! 
Looks like a perfect fit, to me.

Choosing you for an ‘impossible” mission was a perfect fit, imho. As well, the pic you included adds something wonderfully incandescent to the whole thing. (I’m working on getting those “By Requests” to re-post properly.)

You are noble and brave, humble and patriotic, smart and kind. You are generous and merciful. You are a military and literary genius. You are an apex protector!!!
And I am sorry that you didn’t get to see Machu Pichu. I have never been much for international travel, but that is one of the places I have always found intriguing.

That was the next thing most of our State Department ‘public servants’ did after locating the nearest McDonalds.
