Reply #53: Yep, that's exactly what they were!

What would they be considered? They certainly don't look like a monkey so I did a pretty poor job of describing tham from memory! I never actually saw them because they wouldn't allow me to go with him since the assignments were both under a year. He loved them and so wanted to carry one home, but, of course, he never would.

He didn't get to see near as much of the country as he would have liked, but he talked about the beautiful beaches. At that time, they were only allowed a certain amount of time off the post and had to always wear civilian clothes (even if on duty) and be careful not to let anyone know they were on post because there had been some incidents with attempted kidnappings of soldiers. There were a lot of people there that still loved Noreiga and didn't love our presence. If you look at it from their point of view, it's understandable.
