Several years ago I was between gigs and was the on-site maintenance supervisor for a 76 unit 8 story apartment building in Seattle. We had this one seriously crazy tenant in the basement who was creating all kinds of crazy drama. Drama to the point that the police got called at least several times a week. They wouldn't ever arrest her, but at least 1-2 times a month would haul her in an ambulance to the city's mental ward. But she's just walk back to our building as they wouldn't admit/commit her.
So I'm having an especially stressful week dealing with her and I just made some casual comment about it on my FaceBook page. That night I get a call from an awesome buddy who's a US Navy Seal stationed in San Diego as a BUD's instructor. I tell him the whole story about this chick and why, for various legal/mental-handicap reasons, we can't just evict her.
So he tells me that he has a solution. He and another instructor are taking a bunch of Seal recruits on an arctic training exercise in Alaska. They'll be flying in a C-130 cargo plane that is scheduled to re-fuel just outside of Seattle. He offeres to help me out by using this chick as a training subject for his recruits to do what's called 'an involuntary extraction'.
They'd land at McCord, a handful of them would show up at my building, drug and bag the chick, and then stow her on the plane for the ride to Alaska. There they'd just let her wake up wrapped in a sleeping bag in an alley in Fairbanks or somewhere and just let it go from there...
As much as I appreciated his heartfelt and wonderful offer,
I just couldn't bring myself to accept.
