Seriously..we are waiting on Admirar Rord Nerson, me thinks. Probably one of those time dilation things caused by all the radiation in the atmosphere...or he could be chopping wood again.

I was looking around my units and one of the Brit commanders (dont recall what unit) had a middle name of "Royd". Chinese mother, perhaps? [:D]

Maybe he doesn't eat enough fiber and that is his nickname?

We're in a lul while we biuld up in Oz. Burma is noew reduced to night bombing attacks on Mandalay and the occasional high altitiude sweep. China has also gone quiet.

************August 2, 1942***********

SoPac: Evidently some type of compromise was reached by Cpt. Meany and Adm. Halsey over work rules. The bombers flew over Nadi today.

B-24's from Townsville bombed some transports unloading at Tagula Is. Casualties are estimated to be 12,400 anchovies, 112 barracuda, 18 yellowfin, 6 scarlet wrasse, a really cranky old Moray eel and 3 bottlenose. Secretly the locals are happy to see the old eel go as he once bit off Chief Ugabooga's 4th and 5th right toes but if the ASPCA finds out about the bottlenose there will be hell to pay.

Wasp is headed to Sydney to rendezvous with the other 3 carriers. transports are loading at Auckland, Wellington, Brisbane and Sydney for a landing on Rossel Is. Rn carriers are still at Wellington waiting for escorts and F4F's being ferried from Suva.

Bombardier: Yes sir. I'll take it now.

Maj. Boors: Roger that. Make this a good one, Lt.

Maj. Boors: GODDAMNIT MEANY, WE ARE ON THE GODDAMNED BOMB RUN. CANT IT WAIT?

Cpt. Meany: No sir. You know the rules. Lt. Canavan needs his lunch break too.

Maj. Boors: GODDAMNIT! JOHNSON GET UP HERE PRONTO AND RELIEVE THE BOMBARDIER..........

Do the Sikh pilots get to wear their ceremonial daggers on a mission? Seems to me they would always be puncturing the fine, Corinthian leather on the Wapiti.

Also, the second guy from the left, top row, isn't that the chap from An English Patient. I was made to watch that once. 120 minutes of my life I will never get back.

American "blood chit" on silk (for China). Authentic examples of these are highly valued by collectors.

Probably nothing you didn't deserve. I was made to watch Blue Lagoon.

Oh, the humanity! At least there was some skin.

Rained hard last night and the sky is blue in the West this morning. That is the bad news.

The even worse news is I have a golf tournament today and I haven't played in 365 days and now the tournament is on. <makes sign of the cross>

Yeah. Most of it was burned off the pilot protagonist, IIRC. Methinks the good (or at least OK) Cap'n meant something slightly more salacious, less singed.
