The bird farms always wrecked perfectly good liberty ports. I’d get freebies until they showed up.
We were actually on the beach, admiring the atmospheres (.)(.)
And then the Ch Eng (Former enlisted BT type) he and I watched the island structure come up over the horizon, and I knew who was in the area...He flipped a gasket and said there goes the nieghborhood...
He yelled out in a semi-stuporous manner...
“THE AMERICAN NAVY IS COMING!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!”
He cleared about half the beach on that one...I’ve never forgotten that...Bout threw up laughing so hard...
We saved a couple of the girls from those dastardly airdales...
Oh to be young again...
