Raytheon Paddle PiratesThe Raytheon Paddle Pirates are a diverse crew of soulfully industrious cube dwellers, released from our carpeted habitats and flat panel monitors, banded together to form one the most feared splash makers on calm seas. With our competitive spirit, unbridled enthusiasm, and unorthodox paddling prowess, we are definitely a team to be reckoned with, or at least make some room for. Our vigorous training consists of keyboard pounding, mouse pushing, speed texting, hallway sprints, and mass consumption of HotCheetos and Rockstar. Grunion fear us and jellyfish quiver at the mere mention of our name. Who are we – we’re R.P.P.! Arrrr!
