Gitmo No self-respecting sailor can really claim to be experienced in the ways of the Navy without at least one stint at Gitmo under his belt. Unimpressive in appearance, but foreboding in reputation, the Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was the proving ground where Barney's readiness for sea was meas- ured to the minutest detail. Like football players attending summer training, Bar- neymen trained for seven weeks under the meticulous eyes of observers from Fleet Training Center. The object was simple - to mold three hundred individ- uals with varying degrees of experience into an efficient and unified team, ateam R7lHEiGE6i1lElWplrlo m p t l y and capably respond to any challenge which might face a destroyer. Achieving such a goal involved hard work, long hours, and to- tal participation. Reveille came early and GQ followed shortly afterward. It wasn't long before the Spartan pleas- ures available at Gitmobecamewel- come sights, as the days of engineering casualties and submarine attacks grew more and more realistic. Barney celebrated her eighth birth- day during this period of refresher training, and the A opportunity for cele bration could har dly have been better timed. A grateful crew poured weeks of pent-up emotion into a weekend-long jamboree of swimming, basketball, soft- ball, and general relaxation. Surrounded on thr e e sides by Cas- tro's Cuba, and engulfed on all sides by a tropical summer, Guantanamo is something le s s than an exotic i sl a n d paradise of the Caribbean. Its purposeis to prepare Navy w ar s hip s to perform their vital mission. As expected, Bar- ney's experience there was a learning experience, and the training and coordi- nation demonstrated by the crew during the rest of the cruise stands as vivid testimony to the value of the Gitmo grind.
