I tīmata tētahi rōpū kaiwaiata o te rohe i tētahi haerenga e whā ngā rā te roa ki te mahi mō te ope taua o Amerika e tū ana i Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Ka haere a Brady Clampitt rāua ko Isaac Corbitt o te Corbitt-Clampitt Experience mai i NAS Jacksonville ki te puni hōia rongonui, ka whakangahau rātou i ngā tāne me ngā wāhine e mau ana i ngā kākahu hōia.
I aro atu tētahi atu kai kimi hōia ki te Corbitt-Clampitt Experience i tana whakaaturanga i te "The Star-Spangled Banner" i te St. Augustine Prohibition Kitchen. I pai ki tā rātou i rongo ai tētahi māngai mō tētahi rōpū e tautoko ana i ngā whakangahau i te turanga hōia, ā, i whakapā atu ki ngā āpiha i te MWR Guantanamo Bay, nā rātou i tono te roopu mō tētahi whakaaturanga ki O'Kelly's Irish Pub.
"I rongo rātou i a mātou i ētahi hakari i St. Augustine me Suwannee, ā, i pai rātou ki a mātou, nō reira i waea mai ai rātou ki a mātou me te pātai mai mēnā he uruwhenua ā mātou," te kī a Corbitt. "Kua mahi ahau i ētahi mea mā te ope taua i mua, engari ko te nuinga i te US, nō reira i tino miharo ahau i taku rongonga i tēnei mea."
Ahakoa e whā noa ngā rā o te haerenga a te GTMO ki te whakataurite ki te noho rua wiki a Clampitt me te Melody Trucks Band i te raki o Niu Ioka, i hiahiatia he tirotiro papamuri, he tohu tuakiri hōia rangitahi mō ngā turanga e rua, me te whakaaetanga mō ngā T-hāte, ngā tohu kurī, me ētahi atu taonga i hangaia hei whakamaumahara i tētahi huihuinga nui pēnei.
"He rawe te huarahi e mahi ai mātou ki te ope taua, engari ki te haere ki tētahi wāhi pēnei i a Guantanamo Bay, kāore te ope taua i te tū ki reira. He wāhi ahurei rawa atu," te kī a Corbitt. "E 45 maero te roa o te turanga. He tāone katoa. He papa poipoi, he whare pikitia me ngā momo mahi katoa nā te mea he maha ngā tāngata he whānau kei te turanga e noho ana."
E tino whakaari ana te pēne i te himene whenua i toa ai ngā tīkiti GTMO hei whakaatu i tō rātou tautoko i ngā hōia. I kī a Corbitt ka nui hoki tā rātou takoha ki te puoro root rock me te blues o te Tonga me ngā waiata a ngā Allman Brothers, a JJ Gray me Mofro, he waiata harmonica rongonui, me ētahi waiata taketake anō hoki.
"He wheako tino rawe tēnei. Nā māua anō hoki tēnei momo taonga i hanga, ā, nā māua ko Brady i hoahoa tahi te tohu mō tēnei katoa. Kei te toa Corbitt Clampitt a Etsy te pānui 11×17 e whakaatu ana i te nikau me te tohu haki o Amerika."
"I a mātou e noho ana i konei, ka hokona e mātou ētahi mō te wā poto, kātahi ka hoatu he wāhanga nui o tā mātou whakaaturanga. Ka maka atu e mātou ngā tohu kurī, ngā hāte, me ngā kurī pēpi ki ngā mema hōia me ō rātou whānau."
Ka ako ngā mema o te pēne i ngā mahi me ngā mea kāore e tika ana mō te oranga i a rātou e noho ana, engari ko te tumanako a Corbett ka taea e rātou te kiriata i te whakaaturanga me te tuku ki runga i ngā pāpāho pāpori kia pai ai te pārekareka ki ngā hoa, ki te whānau me ngā pā.
"Ka tatari mātou kia tae atu mātou ki reira, kātahi ka tīmata te pātai. Ka taea e mātou te kiriata? He wāhi kāore e taea te tango i tō waea pūkoro, ki te kore ka murua e rātou," tana kī.
"Kotahi noa tā mātou whakaaturanga mai i te 7 ki te 9 i te pō, ā, me te mea kei te hararei mātou, ka noho tahi me rātou mō ētahi rā. He maha ngā mahi hei mahi mā mātou," tana kī, tae atu ki te haerenga ki te turanga tawhito.
"Ka haria mātou e rātou ki te tirotiro haere i te puni, ka kōrero mai i ngā mea katoa, te wā i tīmata ai, te take i tīmata ai, me ngā mea katoa i mahia e rātou i reira, kia whai wāhi ai rātou ki te haere ki tētahi wāhi pēnei me te tiki i tētahi — he whai wāhitanga mō te ao katoa tēnei wheako."
Ehara i te mea ko te wā tuatahi tēnei kua whakamahia e te pēne ōna pūkenga mō te mahi hōia. I mahi tahi a Corbitt me tōna tuakana, a Newsome, i roto i te Corbitt Brothers Band mō ngā tau e toru karapīpiti i te Army Rangers 5th Battalion Mountaineering Base.
I te tau 2016 Valor Jam i te Whare Tapere o Florida, i tū tahi a Clampitt me ngā Teina Corbitt. Ko te Quality Resource Center te kaiwhakahaere o te kōnohete aroha, he whakahaere kore-moni mō ngā mema hōia e mahi ana, ngā hōia tawhito me ō rātou whānau. Ko ngā teina Corbitt te upoko o te hui me ā rātou whakaaturanga poroporoaki, tae atu ki ngā mahi whakatuwheratanga a Second Shot me Billy Buchanan & Free Avenue. Ko ngā moni whiwhi ka āwhina i te hanga whare utu iti mō ngā hōia tawhito kāore he kāinga i raro i te Kaupapa Landing Veterans a QRC, te kaupapa SALUTE.
I tēnei ngahuru, ka hono atu a Corbitt rāua ko Clampitt ki a Kevin Post o The Blake Shelton Band me Hallie Davis Music e manaakihia ana e te Admiral's Daughter mō te tuarua o ngā huihuinga ā-tau a Rhythm & Boots i te 6 o Noema i te Blue Jay Listening Room i Jacksonville Beach Mini music festival. Nā The Admiral's Daughter te kaupapa i hanga, he raina kakahu i hangaia hei whakaara ake i te mōhiotanga ki te kōrero moana me te maioha ki ngā hōia. Kei roto i ngā tīkiti te kai i ABBQ me Jax Beach Brunch Haus, te hokohoko puku, ngā utu raffle me te pae tuwhera.
Mō Clampitt, he hononga whaiaro tōna ki Guantanamo Bay. Ko tōna koroua, ko Albert Frank Crampitt, i whakanohoia ki reira e rua ngā wā i roto i ana tau 20 e mahi ana hei hoa tuatahi hei miihini rererangi me te pailate i hainatia ki te US Navy. He heramana ia i runga i te USS Lexington, i te tau 1937 pea i tonoa ki te kimi i te waka rererangi i hinga a Amelia Earhart. Ahakoa he tokomaha o ana hoa i whakaaetia hei tūao i kore i hoki mai, i tuku ia i a ia ki te whakauru atu ki te Flying Tigers. I Guantanamo Bay, i tukuna a Crampet Sr. ki te US Naval Base i Panama ki te whakahou i tā rātou whare whakahou miihini.
Kia tirohia, ka hangaia anō te mīhini, ka whakamatautauria, ka whakakīia ki roto i te pouaka, ā, ka tukuna atu. I tōna taenga ki Panama, kua tonoa katoatia ngā pane rino kore waikura o te mīhini, ā, i tono ia ki te Amiratara kia whakaaetia tana mahere ki te hanga tauira mō ngā pane mai i te tīmatanga mā te whakamahi i ngā ngongo me ngā pereti rino kore waikura. E toru āna huringa 24-hāora e mahi ana hei whakatutuki i te hiahia mō ngā waka rererangi o Amerika. I whai tiwhikete a Clampitt ki te mahi, ā, i pairatia e ia tētahi waka rererangi moana PDY5A, ā, i whakamahia e ia tana wā rere ki te whakamātautau i te mīhini kua hangaia anō, me te kimi i ngā wāhi hī ika pai rawa atu i te takutai.
Ka haria e Albert Crampett me ētahi o ana hoa heramana te poti i pakaru/i whakaora i te turanga ki te hī ika, i reira i nui ai ngā ika, ā, ka hopukina e rātou ki ngā matau kanapa, kāore he mōunu. E kiia ana he kupenga mangō kei te takutai moana i hangaia ki ngā taura maitai kore waikura me ngā punga i raro, ā, ka mānu i runga.
He mea tino motuhake mā Clampitt te whai i te ara o tōna koroua ki GTMO, me te tumanako ka kitea e ia ētahi o ana wāhi hī ika pai. "Ina titiro tātou ki te ope taua me te tikanga o te tautoko i ngā tāne me ngā wāhine i roto i te ope taua i te tuatahi, he maha ngā wā he mahi kore whakawhetai, nō reira, i ngā wā katoa ka taea e tātou te mahi i tētahi mea motuhake mā rātou, ka uru atu tātou. "Whakatikahia taua mea," te kī a Clampitt, me te mahara ki tana wheako ki te mahi me te kamupene tuanui o tōna matua kēkē, a Wilford Roofing, i a ia e mahi ana i te Mayport Naval Base i te pourewa whakahaere o te taunga rererangi.
"Ki taku whakaaro he mea pai ki te mātakitaki i ngā mahi o te ata a ngā pailate hērakapa e whakangungu ana, e mahi ana i ngā misioni i te ata. Heoi, he mea pai ki te haere ki te wāhi e tū ana a Koro. Ka mahi ngā tāne me ngā wāhine i reira i aua mahi i ia rā, ahakoa te kaupapa tōrangapū. He kawenga tā tātou ki te tautoko i a rātou."
