Welcome to Palm Island US Military Base

It's the 1950's. WWII is over but the Cold War is far from thawed...

Here is the MP building. Oh, You want to see what's in that large building...

That is a large hangar for a German Zepplin we stole back in WWII. How we got it to the island without people seeing this is a mystery. Of course I was still working in DC then.

Looks like the LT and CPL are having a little chat on the good drill yesterday. For some reason all the men are running to do morning chores. That's new... ah it seems the general is letting all the men go on break today to the beach after the chores are done.

Also stationed here is a whole tank batalion. Man, what ever is in the "black rooms" must be sensitive info.

LGBMATT I was in the Army for three years, you have the tanks parked all wrong, should be on concrete in single rows with a road in the medial. The trucks would also not park on grass.

Thank you for telling me. I will make some changes. Also thank you for your services to this country.
