Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

No offense to the Danes but I'm more interested in the Dutch field hockey team. [:D]

I like the women's beach volleyball. It's a tough sport though. I've only been watching for 10 minutes and already there is a wrist injury.

I'm hoping with some ice and ibuprofen I will be OK in a couple of days.

This is supposed to be an AAR, right? I didn't think that kind of action was included. [X(]

[sprior]

Just be thankful there are no screen shots of it.

[Onime No Kyo]

That would be more damaging to Mandrake's rep than the colon shots. [:D]

Is this a PBEM? I just hope he's not doing it while driving. He might be pulled over in several states here.

So he's on one of those lists, is he? [:-]

That would be quite a long drive.

Troops prepping for Ramree Island

662 AV just for Ramree Island?! You really really want it, don't you. As The Sundance Kid said to Butch Cassidy (amid a flurry of fluttering, slightly charred bank notes) "Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?" [:)]

I think the idea is to hire local sampans or take a ferry to the mainland, once ashore. We, therefore, need to be prepared to handle substantial enemy forces.

Aquarians? Hippies. [:'(] By Summer 1986, we were the Dolphins.

Not so much of a draft problem then. I once knew a guy that served in Grenada. That's about the same though.

Well, at least you wernt the "Gondoliers". [8|]

Oh, you poor, poor man. Were you beat up often because of it?

And bring exact change. Those sampan drivers are notorious.... [:-]

Ramree Isrand is barely an isrand. Even the biggest esutuarial channels dividing it from the mainland are less than 500 ft across. I shudder to think what a malaria and croc hell-hole it was in 1945(a).

Dude, things must have changed in Pali between 1968 and my time at Pali high in the mid-80s! We tended to argue about important things: BMW vs. Mercedes; Maui 'wowie' vs. Humboldt Gold, etc.

I graduated Pali in Winter 1970 (The Aquarians); how 'bout you?

Of course, back then we had a draft with a one-way ticket to some nice big war-games our parents had arranged in SE Asia upon graduation if you didn't head off to college or end up with a high draft lottery number (my best friend got #365, which was good but not perfect; 1970 was a leap year, after all...)

No, dude, I'm talking about Pali class nicknames---Pali itself was always the Dolphins, even when it opened in 1965, but each graduating class had to select it's own identifying name. In winter 1970, it was a close vote: 78 for Aquarians, 68 for Bacchanalians (hey---that was my vote!), 34 for "Stoned Dopers." The Age of Aquarius hippies narrowly won. See; 15 years later things didn't change much...[;)]

Me---I served in the Grenada invasion too as Navy Doc running a surgical support team---probably the only other Pali grad who did.

About that time Jay Schroeder was playing High School football there; he later led the Redskins and ultimately the Raiders in the NFL, all the way to the 1990 AFC Championsip game as starting NFL QB. Lotsa interesting grads from that High School over the years. (Don't even ask about Jennifer Bogart and her affair with the MASH actor Elliot Gould during her High School career when I was there...)

A word of advice - don't take a ride with any Sampan operators wearing cloaks and calling themselves "Caron" ....

[Itdepends]

You know the game allows you to march overland from the mainland to Ramree island and back again right?

[sprior]

Yep, that's why we're going there.
