After action report

After qualifying as a seal BM1 Ratt flew to a point 5 miles off the coast Iraq and parachuted into the gulf. He swam ashore and moved rapidly inland. PO1 Ratt reports that he entered an area east of Samarra and in hand to hand combat he disposed of Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri because this mission was SO Top Secret a cover story has been leaked to the press claiming the mission was carried out by aircraft.

As he moved through Iraq he used the skills taught to him By commodore Jordan last August and disarmed a few dozen IED's. He continued onto the Tora Bora region to complete his primary mission to make a thousand caves and safe houses in the lawless areas uninhabitable by Osama Bin Laden and his followers.

The Rat left dropping contaminated with various contagious viruses acquired in liberty ports around the world in each cave. He then continued to contaminated each cave/safe house by drinking several cans of PBR the  leaving empties strewn everywhere.  Completing his mission he returned to his duties on pier 91 in Seattle for seafair.
