VMI Lends A Hand
By Lt Col P
We at Op-For generally lean towards the head-cracking aspect of military ops, but the "no better friend" part makes for some good press too.
USS John S. McCain Rescues ROK Fishing Vessel Crew MembersFrom Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs
USS JOHN S. MCCAIN, At Sea (NNS) -- Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) assisted in the rescue of 11 crew members of a Republic of Korea (ROK) fishing vessel off the Korean Peninsula, March 10.
The skipper of that ship would be one Cdr John Banigan, VMI 89.
And also in same the neighborhood...

That would be F. Winton Smith, VMI 89, proudly mentioned here before.
OK, warm-and-fuzzy time's over. Get back to boarding, seizing, taking and burning!
