International Night

Last week, our course where I study English in Jakarta, set up a party. The title of party was "Promoting Mutual Understanding Through Language" The participants were not only from Pusdiklat Bahasa but also from defense attache. Various countries joined the party such as Australia, Russia, Arabic, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore etc. They were separated into difference stage. We decorated our stage and prepared our performance. Our preparations were monitored by instructors. They guided us for preparing our performance. We have a teacher from Aussie. She is Capt. Stewart. She taught us bush dance. It is a friendship dancing that is good for relationship. By the way not only our group prepared performance but also the others country took a part. That was quite exciting party. The party's increased my knowledge because many cultures and foods were available at the party. That was my lucky day because the party is only conducted in the second semester. next year, I suppose to join International Night again.

I Miss U
by Incubus

To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.

To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.................

I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.

You have only been gone ten days,
but already I'm wasting away.

I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.

But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

Patrol Coastal Ships Returned to Navy

August 27, 2008

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Command of patrol coastal ships USS Tempest (PC 2) and USS Monsoon (PC 4) was returned to the U.S. Navy from the U.S. Coast Guard during a ceremony held at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek Aug. 22.

Tempest has been on loan to the Coast Guard since December 2005, and Monsoon was on loan since October 2004. Both ships were transferred back to naval control during a ceremony that exemplified the interoperability of the two services.

"The Navy and the Coast Guard have a great working relationship," said Cmdr. Stephen Coughlin, commander, Patrol Coastal Squadron. "We're really in the same business, and it's an honor to work with people this professional."

During the time with the Coast Guard, both ships traveled more than 160,000 nautical miles and spent more than 700 days underway in support of counter drug, illegal alien migration interdiction and coastal security. These operations resulted in the successful seizure of 1,700 pounds of cocaine and the interdiction of more than 500 illegal immigrants.

"This very strong bond that the Navy and Coast Guard shares goes back hundreds of years; it's something we cherish," said Coast Guard Capt. Norman Custard. "The use of these ships has immensely helped us achieve our missions to ensure homeland security."

The two ships will be utilized by the Navy as training platforms to get crews ready for operating PCs overseas in support of Maritime Security Operations. Currently, there are several PCs forward deployed to the Middle East operating in infrastructure protection missions.
