Beach hair for your craft well as far as 
where is lyrica good hit but it didn’t seem to me 
Kennedy’s that mature a position as far as we were concerned 
guns are right out all I do 
couples couple steps away from us it 
shallana dinner in a foreign Gangnam

00:32:00
but it all went out at the same time 
I don’t know what really happened and I never did find out 
but they were hits girl couple steps away from us 
so you were under under significant fire Yoshi land 
your shipping in the cargo where the men go off to come back again 
supplies or what is your duty not right away you don’t hear from 
from Leyte Leyte Gulf battle in Game of Death 
00:32:35
that’s it I talking about live album 
708 hundred miles or more so I got off the beach 
the beach Lia anchored in the bay for a while 
kept watching out for boxes 
and then after that we went back down to earth 
I think we went back down to let it go 
why do they supply the beach at 700 mile trip to supply the beach 
00:33:10
other Beach health I don’t have large craft picture of a big ship 
what supplies that you can transfer to the beach for them but that’s not the case I guess 
 
ShopRite app on the beachfront s*** for talking about cargo ships 
they had to put the rear cargo on like one of these 
sell LCD TVs LCVP s 3 
36 foot boat ok and that’s how they have to unload their stomach 
00:33:45
could not load to an LCD from a cargo ship they couldn’t 
I don’t never see what your remember saying we do that 
is there usually done that morning when I think but I understand this is not 
does not something that your shift was assigned to do no no 
Noah Hathaway Garden Road and why we go right back to where we can 
where we came from usually during the 
during this period starting in New Guinea when your going from place to place are you in 
00:34:20
risk of submarine attacks well how do you avoid data do things in a girl 
well you have a lot of guys watching guys 
rumors say what’s up periscope over there 
are there over here but see that’s good because ID keeps 
the kitchen people on a ball 
rice yeah do you know any stories 
storage for less LCPs rounder attack from submarines without a target 
00:34:55
percolone well I am yours 
USMLE first one move up to us over to Australia

00:35:30
did the sink ship ships sink right away or did it all again 
kill a lot of guy who got hit right in the crews quarters 
Oh nuts in the African how many guys got killed

since I belong to the Illinois RC Association
