Welcome Aboard The CGC Bear
On Patrol - Week Five
We join the crew of the Cutter Bear during week four as she continues her Counter-Narcotics patrol in the Caribbean Sea.
Ensign Peter Lang is 'our man' aboard Cutter Bear sending us reports while
LT Charlie Marino and ETC Noel Stakes are busy snapping photos. This will probably be our last "on patrol" segment. We are
looking forward to the "final installment" as BEAR arrives home.
