I was in Panama for Operation Just Cause.
I was not a combat reporter (those on the ground with troops as they enter a conflict).
However, 3 days after the mission was 'completed' I traveled in a humvee through downtown Panama City looking for things to do stories about for Armed Forces Network.
Rumor had it that there were snipers still at-large (which means I could've been shot), but thankfully wasn't.
Later, VP Dan Quayle visited and I rode with the White House Press pool of reporters for a couple of days. That was pretty cool.
Met Jim Miklazsewaki and Frank Cesno. Nice guys.
