Chapter 5: Skip Haberlack Escapes from Guantanamo Bay!

Everyone has been asking...Where is Skip in all these events? Well...he got two weeks off to spend with us after Kaitlyn was born, but then he had to meet with his boat to continue their patrol. Seems easy enough right? Well, you are greatly mistaken! Fools!

So, the plan was that he was to fly to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and meet the boat the next day. So, he gets up the next morning after arriving and hours pass, but there is no boat! The day passes and still no boat. Nobody knows where they are. So Skip has been calling me and through me I've been sending his boss emails to let them know whats going on. Well this goes on for a few days....and days and days. Of course now everyone is mad because he could be here with us and celebrating my birthday! LOL! Eventually we heard back from his boss saying that they were NOT going to Guantanamo after all....

Long story short, after a few days he was flown to Miami, Florida so he could then later catch a plane to Colombia to meet with them. Mind you this was during the whole Ike forming and pounding the Caribbean time. So of course I was nervous. He did finally catch up with his boat. All was well, except for Skip because apparently his sub did absolutely nothing and Skip had to catch up on work that was not done and things that were done, but done wrong. (Control issue you say?) Hee hee.

You guys know the rest of the story actually. Ike pounded us, then eventually Skip got to come home. :)
