Musical gator rocks Guantanamo

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (March 5, 2010) – Going on his third deployment in seven years, Army Spc. Keith Chambers is no stranger to finding ways to keep himself entertained while away from home.
It’s that experience and personal ingenuity that has helped him come up with an idea unique to his assignment with Joint Task Force Guantanamo at U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay.
“[To my knowledge], I have the only Gator (utility vehicle) with sound in it,” said Chambers, as he showed off his makeshift radio set. It consists of an MP3 player, speakers and a small 12-volt converter.
“This is a great way to spend some time, especially after a long day at work.”
It’s this skill and ingenuity that earns Chambers, an armorer with the 786th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, his 15 Minutes of Fame.
