Sounds like these guys would understand that old quip (from the Napoleonic Wars IIRC) about "why did we have to march so fast only to get shot at when we get there".

Ad Hoc Editor's Note: The Egyptian Girl suggested we tell the reader that the "Kh" sound (as in Khaled) sounds kinda like a furball being coughed up.

P.S. The Editor-in-Chief position is still open. We added a company-supplied Kia SUV to the package.

I'm just waiting for the quip Mandrake comes up with when the 7th finally arrives with 45% disruption.

It's all the Plaster of Paris (tm) casts of dinosaur bones that they are totin' around.

USN daily report:
SS Blackfish reports sinking a freighter of 6000 tons in a surface engagement off Lingayen Gulf today.
SS 28 did not make contact with packmate Pickerel off Simpson Harbor, New Britain tonight; presumed sunk by one of the numerous search aircraft that have been reported there.
No other notable sightings elsewhere in the Pacific.

China:
For the 2nd day running, Chinese bombers struck at the airdromes around Chengting; ground damage was light, but escorting P40's of the 23rd FG have accounted for some 20 enemy fighters for less than 10 losses of their own. The fighter types encountered are some of the newer Tony and Tojo planes.

3 Nationalist Corps are facing a Jap Division (21st) SW of Yunan; airstrikes are working on the frontline while the troops gather their breath and bullets.

Home front:

Mark this day on your calendar; USS Idaho docked at Mare Island today. USS Maryland is reporting that she is seaworthy and is moving to the #10 pier for final fitting out over the next 2 weeks. Idaho will be moving to the drydock ASAP where underwaterline repairs will begin. Other ships are in varying states of repair right now; with all 4 WC ports using their full repair capacity nearly every day.

A commendation for the Pearl Harbor repair crews is in order. Wasp is now equipped with the new AAA weapons; the yard boss believes that she will be ready in 7-10 days, when it will support AKRON.

Finally, here's a shot of the SF Navy Yard 1st shift supervisor. His brother, newly enlisted in the 2nd MarID was on hand for the arrival of Idaho. His comment...."Shazzzam!!"

A British 7th Armoured Brigade Grant emerges from the Burmese jungle in October of 1942. At the time they were experimenting with a number of materials to limit penetration of the front glacis armour.



BTW..what is wrong with this picture?

And the fact that the 37mm gun appears to be missing?

And the fact that the tank is American, yet is sporting the Desert Rat?

Bed rolls??? I will have you know some Allosaurus gave his all to make those "rolls".

Yes. The 37 mm had to be removed. The extra weight from the plaster of Paris was putting too mcuh strain on the front suspension members.

Yes, the stripe on the cupola and the paint scheme look American. That was a contract mix-up with M&M Paint and Body Division.

There is something else. More subtle..you are close.

Yes...good point. Here is a close-up. The chap looks vaguely familiar.

Something else anachronistic too.

You don't remember Michael Dukakis riding around in a tank (looking silly) as a electioneering stunt? Probably cost him 1,000,000 votes on election day...
