The Dieppe raid( Operation Jubilee) mentioned happen 80 years ago 19 Aug 1942. The butcher's bill for that assault did provide lots of lessons for future landing(North Africa,France and Italy). Many do wonder that some better planning would have lessened death and casulties and still achive the same objectives.

Just thinking about crawing into the caves to seek out the enemy from the comfort of my home still makes me wonder.

Tail gunner looks like a real lonely job even while being part of a crew

Lots of stories of how navel battles would attract sharks to the area. Dipping a toe let alone swimming in those water and in the dark... serious brass balls.

Bet the first and last thing he checked on preflight was where the cyanide pill was

Making holes in the dirt is 1st year apprentice work, I'm just doing it now on steroids. They either bury my work or teardown what's on the surface when the project is done. I hear what you're saying about the Chicago and the craftsmenship that's gone into it. It makes what's happening to the city that much more of a tragedy.

Damn brother, how long is the list of your skill set?

Ron, I like the way you roll, that's the mindset that turns a roll pin into a rifle

That's a great view to sit down to at the end of the day. Ever consider setting up a time lapse photo shoot

Not Irish but drank with a few, my guess is he wasn't odering food as asked but saying Well(whale) I'll(oil) be(bee) fooked(f hooked)

I'm also in the same boat, my distance is fine just up close. Where I noticed an issue was up close and working over my head. I got some double D segmented safety glasses I found for me these work great for shooting pistol being able to transition between front sight and target without moving my head. Also easy for shooting through rifle scope works. I find with my regular progressives I can shoot just need to tilt my head and not as fast/accurate as the double Ds I'm lucky in that my optometrist been very interested in the whole shooting and glasses thing and benifits is picking up the tab for the glasses. These are much better than the plastic safety glasses.

I had a chance to tou the Midway years ago, same weekend also toured a German WW2 sub they had at the time. Quite the contrast in living conditions.

Put a therapy dog vest on Spot and get a picture on the flight deck of the USS Midway...

Looks like you found a great spot for camping

As a hard hat wearer this is a great story

Well it would be nice to know what he told her he spent... Of course my money says Rene will only be outlived by Keith Richards
