our bare hands. Later, we were loaded on small Coast Guard boats and sailed to Bimini	Island in	the Bahamas	for staging
for a mock	infiltration of	Florida in	the general	vicinity of
Miami.
We boarded Coast Guard patrol boats and, under cover of darkness, headed for Miami, Florida. As we approached the shoreline,	we off-loaded,	by two's,	into small	specially-

Next, we ran through a store and into another street, and evaded what would have been immediate apprehension.
Later that evening, we notified our Command Headquarters that we had successfully infiltrated the Miami area. Next, we contacted the Military Police Headquarters and suggested they go retrieve the two military policemen we had detained in the motel in Hollywood, Florida.
