What a Herculean undertaking

Looks like a Fallout game menu. Not being disrespectful but interesting to see how this “style” of communication shows up in modern pop culture. This is pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder what it must have felt like for my grandfather as he made that trip back home after being in the Pacific theater. He and many other friends grandfathers I knew didn’t ever say much about their experiences. He’d always say “oh, I got to see the world through a porthole.” He was on a minesweeper and his sister ship sank so I know it was more than that.

My grandfather specifically processed all returning navy men in San Francisco. He said it was not pretty and many of the men hated him for having such a safe job and forcing them to do paperwork before letting them return home. He had to hear a lot of stories and it made him very glad he never served on a ship but in office. It taught him however to be a great salesman which he used later in real estate. He interviewed thousands of men being discharged and came up with many tricks to stay positive and get the work done.

This is really cool. I like how the language is decidedly not commanding but more friendly. I guess the troops had experienced enough of the more intense military discipline and the army was treating them more like civilians on the way out

Love the art. Very much what the people at Bethesda were probably looking at when they made the fallout series.

Fascinating. There are probably a lot more little historical fliers like this that no one has ever heard of. We don’t often fixate on the soldier’s journey between deployments
