football

I work for Arizona State, I do all their game films, I get paid to watch college football...its a tough life ;). Actually I work like a dog 8 months a year...16 hour days stuff like that. Its fun, but it can be pretty tiring too.

6 March 1943

<t>Two days of bitter fighting in and around Gasmata has left my Marines pressing ever closer to the Japanese airfield. The Japanese are well fortified at the base here and fighting bravely, but my heavy bombers have exacted a heavy toll on their fortifications and more often then not my Marines are ...

4 March 1943

<t>Marines from the 6th and 7th Regiments landed at Gasmata this morning. They waded ashore unopposed, though I am sure the Japanese intend to contest this landing. 3 strikes of Bettys hit hit the invasion force to prove that point. USS Idaho took a torpedo in the initial strike, but the Army ...

24 February 1943

<t>Five days have past since an entry here. Honestly, until last night there wasn't much new to report as the entire area has become rather routine. My bombers fly off in the morning, pound various targets in the area and return home. I control the skies in and around both Guadalcanal and New Guinea ...

19 February 1943

<t>A strange report today from my heavy and medium pilots at Port Moresby. In today's raid at Finschhafen they reported seeing a Japanese aircraft carrier (debriefings say it was the Akagi) anchored offshore sans any aircraft on her flight decks. Unfortunetly, the bombers had already dumped their ...

18 February 1943

<t>Early this morning there were more night raiders from Kavieng at Lae. They arent doing a lot of damage, unless you count the lack of sleep and shattered nerves of the crews at the airfields there. I do wish I could put up fighters to catch them, but it is too hit and miss to risk my pilots. <br ...

<t>Five days of fierce air battles have occured over both Lunga and Lae. My fighters and bombers have apparently shut the airfield down at Guadalcanal. Today for the first time since I can remember, no Japanese fighters rose to greet my strikes. I do not intend to stop bombing Lunga until I see a ...

<t>After three days of debate, recrimination and reflection my staff and I have decided the best way to deal with the huge Japanese build-up of troops at Finchhafen is to bypass them.

<t>The disaster at Finchhafen has echoed through the halls of Congress in Washington. Various senators are demanding an investigation how an entire regiment of marines could of been lost in a so-called "moping up" operation.
