What is worse? You get invited to an NFL playoff party and you make 4 lbs of Tri-tip but half the grease drips off on your pants...and when you get there you find out he has three Dobermans or You are the graduate of three different UC campuses (campi) and they have your phone number?

Also this: Your web browsing ads begin to change from ED remedies so you feel really good about that...but then they morph into heavy duty toenail clipper ads? [X(]

You know, in medical school, the anatomy course if of course very important. In the 18th and 19th century you had to hire grave diggers to dig up a cadaver but now they bring one to you pickled in formalin. It's fair to say most of the "donated" cadavers are not descended for Queen Victoria. They all seem to have extremely thick toenails that have not been trimmed in several half years. Evidently, they did not have targeted internet ads.

One time an alumni association (UCLA I think) sent me a notice that my alumni records had been hacked and then like two weeks later they call and ask for money. There is an apt Yiddish word for that..."Chutzpah"

Yet it is not a subunit. At least with Allied units you need to almost get all the support troops ashore during a landing for it to behave like the intact unit. Presumably it is the same for the IJA. Was the 33rd Div just badly attritted in Luzon or do disabled troops not show up in the combat report?

BBfanboy -> RE: At dawn we slept.....in the cab on the way back from Olongapo (2/5/2022 7:58:15 PM)
I'd say the support troops have not been landed yet. For opposed amphib landings I am sure the algorithm lands the combat squads first.
