I can't believe all of the gear crammed into that little van... 3 pallets... For a moment I felt like I was back on the tarmac of a naval air station getting ready to go someplace impossible... hair actually started to stand up on the back of my neck... Kenny Santos at Aqua-Gulf and his crew packed it all up and put it on VIP cargo bound for Puerto Rico. It should come in the day or two before the van. I'm really glad Erin Hurley from Liberty is organizing all of this... ;)
Today after we got Liberty One up and running I wanted to conduct a little test of Generic Access Network or GAN, also called Unlicensed Mobile Access or UMA, and is the commercial name used by mobile carriers for external IP access into their core networks. The latest generation system is named Wi-Fi Calling by a number of handset manufacturers, including Apple and Samsung, a move that is being mirrored by other carriers. This Wi-Fi Calling can be enabled usually in your settings->cellular menu. While in a moving vehicle, Gabby Palerm called Francisco Herrero today while on airplane mode and connected wirelessly to our WiFi hotspot which is then connected to our Satcom setup. The test was better than good, it was great! Test Good! Cheers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network
My first day of travel to Puerto Rico was via a friend I haven't seen in a really long time. It was really good to see Jack and his lovely wife Lynn. I really miss the EOD brotherhood, but on many of my travels I only need to do a little searching to find a few on my way. Jack wouldn't let me leave his home until we had steak and beer, and talked about the old days, packing me up with medical kits, more packing tape and many cautionary tales. In essence, I was trained and kitted up over dinner with nearly 40 years of tactical experience. I thought to myself about what my boss Jim says all the time... "What could be better than this?" My favorite of all the gifts was of course spending time catching up, but, I do love collecting coins... :)
