Rimmer Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Navy cleans garbage-strewn Had Tien Beach PATTAYA:--More than 100 sailors cleaned Had Tien Beach after a tidal wave of garbage washed ashore. Rear Adm. Eagarat Promlumpag, commander of the Air and Coastal Defense Command, led the squad to the Sattahip shoreline Aug. 8 to pick up trash scattered over a kilometer of sand. Eagarat said the tide of trash washes ashore each year during the rainy season. Much of it floats down the coast from Bangkok, but some comes from local communities and ships at sea, he said.

Now we know why the Thai military has so many flag officers. Apparently it takes one to lead a squad....It's a big squad though. Looks more like a platoon.

Certainly has enough Generals & Admirals to lead the "squads" 24/7. They should have a General out there with a company doing Drill & Ceremony marches up & down Pattaya beach all night, every night. They could incorporate "Halt! Bend over! Pick up trash!...Forward, March!" into it. Put ratshot ammo in their M-16's & take care of the varmint problem too. Make them do it in full combat gear as well (Helmet, flack jacket, 5 liters of water etc)....about 60-80 lbs. Nah PT (physical training) uniforms is what they have. Probably future submariners waiting on their sub's. Edited August 18, 2017 by jaywalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 If only Thailand would implement a plan to stop garbage from entering the water. A nation wide anti littering campaign. One that would be ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
