[quote=lonesome roads]ps Ted,

And the U.S. Federal Yankee government payed, clothed, fed and housed you while you were there. Those truly were the days.

It isn’t that Adak is heaven, dude, it is that your hometown is hell.

Dad was there 1948-1950. He was attached to a Navy listening post, the Marines had a smallish Quonset hut that usually had frost on the walls. I would guess living conditions improved a bit by the time you got there, but, who knows?

He wasn’t going back. Not willingly.

Best,
Ted
