Luzon is a meat grinder for A/C. One or two days and a fresh squadron is reduced to rubble. The good news is an LST has been at Bataan unmolested for two days and now I am starting some LCT's with supplies from Palawan Supply up by 25% at Bataan.

BREAKING NEWS: My wife (who spends many hours per week on geneology) just discovered she has a relative/ancestor named "Major Major Etheridge" - so close! [:D]" His first name was Major, and he retired from the service as a Major. She also recently discovered another ancestor/relative named "Captain Captain Wilson "(I'm not sure of the last name). She thinks that this might be a typo, though. [:(]

Unknown... and since i haven't seen a picture of Major Major E., i don't know if he looked like Henry Fonda. [:D] BTW - apparently Major Major Major's father considered naming him "Sergeant Major", and my wife did run across a close relative of Major Major Etheridge that went by Sergeant Major... not sure if it was his actual name, or if he was a sergeant in the service (my wife suspected the later.) Major Major Major's father apparently also considered the moniker "C Sharp Major". [:D]

I was in the Army for 24 years and I worked with a Sergeant named Meager, but on the phone when he answered it, it sound liked Sergeant Major. He got a lot more things done then the average soldier could.

September 2 2020 - the 75th Anniversary of VJ day! Of course, this did not stop the fighting in Asia - i.e. - my Dad got to serve another year in China in the revolution there, ferrying Nationalist troops around and giving US support to them. He is celebrating his 95th birthday in a few weeks! [:)]

It was a 111 here at 5 PM :-)

quote: ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake It was a 111 here at 5 PM :-) I have seen it at -56 F outside. I have also seen it with more than a -100 F windchill outside. I have also seen a month where it never got above Zero degrees F outside. I have also been outside when it was over 90 F if not over 100 F and very humid. Think of crawling into a metal vehicle that has been closed up on a concrete pad all day. Or not being able to bathe for half a week in those temperatures. How do those compare? That is a dry heat, is it not?
