G.afternoon Ladies & gentlemen: Wanna join me for coffee or fresh limeade in the patio?

Naval ordnance

Mster horizontal bombardier, 11 mil average error

Bomb sight and auto pilot mech.

Guadalcanal campaign Aug 11, 1942 and on up to Japan, including old China.

I personally know every cottin pickin womanless island in the Pacific.

However, even so, those hairy butted jarheads still didn't
look interesting to me

After the war went to college for pre-med training, then off to the new USAF
flight training to become an officer.

Ever since I have been a bone fide tropical Tramp.

Actually Terry, except for the ultimate sacrifice by some unknown gyrenes, I wouldn't be here to bug you Some day I will have to post about 'James Francis Pierce, corpman 3c' who I later found in 43 with his entire squad still in their foxholes in the Jungle. They are now buried in Arlington.

Very sad. As a CAP commander, I recieved a metal for planning and executing 300 ambushes and patrols without an American fatality (around Tam Ky). We had some Viets die, one close enough to touch when he got it. That was during the Tét offensive of '68. ALOT of sh*t. But we made it. Sometimes I wonder how.... TTC
