LOOK! The beer cooler has shrapnel damage.
It's down to 97 degree Old Milwaukee.
Looks like the runway repair will have to wait.....
Must be the support guys for the PBY's. Don't think there are any other Navy personnel on Tanna is wwii(e). It's not Old Milwaukee...not sure what it is.

Hmmm. Probably a relabeled brand of Old Milwaukee out of the PI. If I had to guess a product of M&M Enterprises.

Looking at the original pic with a magnifying glass, the first four letters are M-a-d-e , and then I think, a "P" - so, Made of Pee - must be Old Milwaukee!

The damaged Dewey dry dock is towed 800+ miles toward Pearl and then suddenly something happens off Niihau. [:(]

[font="Courier New"]Dear Mom;
You may not get this till we make Pearl but I have become a real sailor on our dangerous journey from Manila. Tomorrow, the Chief is going to let me manage the below deck part of the purge and refill of the fire fighting system. Well, gotta go. Mom, Talk to you soon.

Nice work Disco. Check this out.
During World War II, Hudepohl Beer was among the beers selected by the War Department for use by U.S. troops in the Pacific. Special olive green Crowntainer cans, produced by Crown Cork and Seal Company, but bearing a Hudepohl label, were filled at the Cincinnati brewery then packed in cases with straw before being shipped overseas. Many cases of Hudepohl Beer were actually parachuted to troops on islands throughout the Pacific.

Did you see the pop-culture reference?
"Several cans (of Hudepohl) are seen in the opening scene of Harper Valley PTA."
Barbara Eden was all that and a bag of chips back in the day.....

I dream of her often. A recurrent dream. I dream she is about to show me her belly button...very sensual...and then I wake up.

I met her years ago in a Hotel bar in Silicon Valley. She was a lot shorter than I expected.

So sorry,
Captain. She only consorts with Air Force
Majors. Bad joss for lesser ranks. Maybe try this Genie for ranks Captain and below?

I never trust a genie that spends that much time on beard grooming.
