I remember reading years ago that this phenomenon happened a time or two during combat maneuvering in WWII.

I'm the odd man out. Did 20 years in Naval Aviation and when I retired my Sea Duty Counter was 0000. Didn't plan it that way, just how it worked out.My first sea tour was with an EW aggressor squadron, VAQ-34 out of NAS Point Muga Ca and NAS Lemoore Ca. (We did a home port change when we transitioned from the ERA-3B and EA-7L to the FA-18) We deployed a lot training the fleet in anti-ship missile defense techniques.
My second sea tour was with VQ-1 (EP-3E) out of NAS Whidbey Island Wa. Deployed to Japan/Okinawa and Bahrain.
My last tour in the Navy was with a Fleet Introduction Team out of the old NAC Indianapolis at first with a home port change to NAWS China Lake. For a shore tour I spent more time on the road than I was at home.
BTW I have a lot of respect for those that were "Haze Gray and Under Way".
Dad was VQ-1 pilot 1958-1960 and is why we sailed to Iwakuni. Small world.

I logged 11 days aboard the troopships USS General Mann and 8 days aboard the USS General Mitchell before I was 8 years old - as one of two-dozen or so dependents. The other passengers were Marines.
That’s how we transited the Pacific in the late ‘50s & early ’60s.

What are moray eels doing in fresh water?
That’s why they swam to salt water.

Is that pink box Pepto-Bismol? For the nausea she feels after she chops him up?
I’m thinking it’s for the nausea after eating the parts. Then the donuts will taste better for dessert.

Is it? On my phone it looks galvanized. I guess I owe Alpo an apology.
Sorry, Alpo!
Galvanized won’t bend like that. If you zoom in, you can just see the sweated joint under the M of Plumber.

I wonder where that picture was taking place?
Look at the shape of the milk bottles in his hand. I've never seen milk bottle shaped like that. Cooking oil comes in bottles like that. But milk bottles are square. Pints, quarts, half gallon, gallons - doesn't matter. They are all square. Leastwise around here they are. And those are much longer than they are wide
Not in this country. Note the sign behind him that says “Tobacco on Sale…”

What a coincidence. I took all of the creams and lotions on the bathroom counter and put them in one big bottle, Same thing with all of those colored little bottles with the brushes attached to the cap. Saved a ton of space on the counter and wait til you see how I saved space in the shower!
This might be your final post!

Please translate ANA.
I just now noticed the ejected case in the air. What is the block-like device attached to the hand guard/forearm?
