We were operating on an island in the Pacific/Indian Ocean. While on patrol we found a trail and followed it. We found batteries in cyrilic far from the ocean <not that batteries float> The area was noted and reported to intel.
We were on convoy from point A to point B and saw Soviet aircraft tracking us.
On patrol in an Asian area we were being followed and disapeared into the darkness of the jungle. We formed a perimeter and prepared for engagement with KABARs and E-tools, we had no rounds and the area was known for insurgent activity. Needless to say, we aquired a magazines worth of ammo on the blackmarket later for future operations.
While conducting training exercises while off loading from ship and swimming ashore we observed guerillas observing us complete with AKs. We landed with assorted cutlery ready to defend. It was our only operational weapon at the time.
While on convoy we spotted and watched a unknown submarine periscope track our convoy taking turns watching it from the deck until it got boring and we watched the ships movie of the night...the same one that had been playing all week.
I'm sure I will remember more later.
