Sumatra: The relief Aussie brigade breaks through to the Medan encirclement from the SW in march column at the last second...and then the Japs attack and the 3 brigades are thrown back toward Sibolga. 21st Aus Brig is severely disrupted and will need to find a nice resort for R&R but total disaster is avoided.

Sparrow Force is prepped to land there but that is far up in Injun territory. Maybe a naval bombardment and then drop the rest of 503rd PIR

Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Jocko, I'd like you to meet the Spruance twins.

RADM "Jocko" Clark: <extends hand and shakes both right hands of the twins> Well, well, identical then?

Twins: <quizzically look at each other and then "A" speaks> No, he has a substitution of Leucine for Valine at position 512 of the FOXP2 gene and the lucky bastard is murder at crossword puzzles...they both laugh>

<after a pause Clark looks at the patrician-looking guy> I don't get it.

Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: It's the language gene, Jocko. They are geniuses. They are clones Jocko...genetic copies...you see, the original Raymond Spruance developed the most God-awful neurological tic. The man was a naval genius but he would stand in the middle of a presentation and start yelling about excrement and other bodily fluids. Very distracting. I could hardly get through the meeting agenda. So I had BuOrd make copies of him and they took out that atrocious potty mouth gene.

RADM "Jocko" Clark: Copies? Of a human being?

Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Oh yes. There is one of my too. Up in Mindanao. I played golf with him. The SOB can drive it down the middle of the fairway every time. 260 yds. Uphill downhill doesn't matter. I had the staff tell me on the 8th hole that the damned Japs were landing at Pago Pago. I couldn't take it anymore.

RADM "Jocko" Clark: Ummm..are there two copies of me too?

Tall patrician-looking fellow with 5 stars: Oh, coe on Jocko, don't be silly.

Mindanao: LYB air raids at Malaybalay eating up supply and the AAA is disrupted. The flyable P-40's fly to Zamboanga or Zanzibar or whatever it's called at the NW tip of Mindanao. We have supply but no aviation support. The pilots fill up their own gas tanks and manage to shoot down a bunch of Zekes. The C-46's at Sorong are dropping supply but you can't keep that many troops in beans and burrets

Consequently, the LYB's do not want an air base there, even if it is 500+ miles away from the nearest level 1 port by jungle trail with banded crates and sumatran tigers and angry mohammadens (as Winny would say).

The IJN are working on their own cloning machine, reverse engineered from a captured set of schematics.
It still needs some tuning.

Is this where the ranks of RADM upper and lower halves came from?

No. Lower half is an O7 while the upper half is an O8 or in other terms, a lower half is the same rank as a brigadier while an upper half is the same rank as a major general.

Your explanation makes sense: the difference between rear area and air.

I think Pocahontas Girl (PG) finally kidnapped him and is having her way with him in her basement ...
She probably bought some good single-malt Scotch to keep him anaesthetized.

He can also get the even stronger stuff from medical supply. I think they also call it "rocket fuel!"

PG is the former neighbour who divorced her cheating husband and moved but still parties with Cap and SG from time to time. She has a habit of hitting on males when she has had a little libation.

PG is the former neighbour who divorced her cheating husband and moved but still parties with Cap and SG from time to time. She has a habit of hitting on males when she has had a little libation.


Okay, I sit corrected . . .
