The Navigator

That, or they ran out of money!

Who's the guy, Mike?

That's my father in early 1942.  He was a Master Sargent in 1941 with 18 years service.  With the expansion of the U.S. Army in response to the Axis threat, he was commissioned a 1st Lieutenant (he skipped 2nd Lieutenant because of his time in service).  He went from an infantry MOS with the 2nd Infantry Division to the Military Police Corps.  Was in North Africa, Sicily and at Salerno and Anzio.  Was wounded and sent back to the States to run a POW camp in Michigan.  In 1945, he commanded an MP Company in the American Sector of West Berlin.  He reitred in 1953 and died in 1989.  I come to appreciate him and his efforts as I become older.

I wanted to change avatars and his picture was in my pictures file.

That's a great story Mike. I'd say that should be your Imagination GB subject. My grandfather was in the MP's in Europe about the same time. I should see what unit he was in. I'll ask the aunts and uncles when I see them.

Nice story MajMike. Always cool to hear the stories behind the avatars.

relieved to see the Gadget has made it back home safe.....I think after Operation South is completed Aaron should write an article about this whole operation......it will inspire millions!!!!!!! (or minions at least,,,,)

I wonder what would happen if we sent it to FSM HQ, attention Jim Rockford/Judge Dread/Aaron ?????

If that happens we might have to send Otto Skorzeny in to get it out.

It is a risky operation. We'd need authorization from Manny himself before trying that one!

I like the idea....!!!!

The Navigator:

New reason why Vance hasn't finished his HO-

Spent too much time convincing FSM staff to change their KV-1 to Canadian Vampire!

 

...just caught that one Navigator! Yes, you see I actually have a 1/48 Vampire in the stash (Hobbycraft) that I have on the "soon" list... but as everyone has noticed I sometimes require inspiration (or jackboots) to finish a project, so FSM has graciously placed a Vampire up there as motivation.

Evidence mein herren:

As you can see, it does not yet have it's "mission markers" in place yet. These will need to be applied prior to Operation Navigate South commences...

Seeing the HO again brings a tear to my eye...*sniff*

 

MOJOs do not cry!  Our eyes sweat!  

Herr Marshal, with all due respect, I believe you meant to say your eye expelled a bead of sweat at the sight of the HO.

Those aren't tears, there's just a lot of dust in the air.  Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, is a bit lax in her house-keeping duties.

...yes...

no crying in the HO hanger.. or the Raging MOJO Bary an Grill.. MOJO Law has been decreed

About time Vance got serious on that HO!

That's a lot of Chap Stik for those engines!

OK OK, the other stuff I'm trying to wrap is in paint & dry mode right now, time to get the Xacto & glue back out and put some elbow grease on that Ho... (insert your own greasy Ho joke here...)
