Enough for the army to pay KRS to keep a full-time archaeologist on the island. I was pretty busy while I was and didn't get to see a lot including taking the WWII tour, but a lot of the buildings have display cases with war related artifacts on display. WWII wreck diving is a thing there too.
Damn. Missed that one. I made Peleliu and some other islands, including Iwo.

Just made it back from Kwaj yesterday afternoon.

Has @aitm checked in lately? He is in Melbourn, and I'm wondering how he fared.

My brother is headed back home to Melbourn this afternoon. His neighbor sent him some pictures of his house there. He is going to need a new roof.
Made it through spectacularly, still trying to drink all the hurricane beer so I can get new "non" hurricane beer...yeah...it is that important.

Good deal. Recommend a good roofing company?

Anyone with plywood and shingles is now a qualified roofer in FL.  Sadly...

That's what I'm worried about. Before I left Kwaj the prime sent a crane to the worksite to lift our equipment out of the tank. When it showed up it was followed by a big flatbed truck and a forklift who's sole purpose was to lift the large rubber pads the crane's extendable feet sat on out of the flatbed. The forklift operator told me his 12-month contract was up in a few days. He was planning on heading back to the states to go to Texas and get a job in the Houston area fixing homes damaged by the flooding. He might be qualified/give a shit. He might not. Either way, I'm sure a bunch of people will be heading to Texas and Florida with a plan to fleece people doing shoddy and/or non-existent repairs. Texas, in particular, will probably be ripe with this type as I don't believe the state has any much in the way of local licensing/insurance requirements for residential construction contractors.

Yeah, proving that they know what they're doing is a liberal plot to steal our freedom! And our guns.
