But, I always send a message when I first enter boat, so I will know when I run out of food (instead of making physical note on departure date), so, "Did you get it and the Convoy College after radioing in a Status Report?" Yes...

Eh, still off a bit... I'll have to re-work (and re-word) that one.

That was one of several reasons for disabling the PhotoOps previously. Those were "hot" missions when given. They had roughly a week to get there, a week to do the job, panorama photos of the beaches, and a week to get back - tops. Hot stuff. Were you assigned one in v0.81? Where did they send you? Did you get the assignment from calling in a Status Report? Thanks
- I did just get an idea (scary thought) for these missions though...

Thanks. As you can tell, the hired help is cheap (and lazy)... I'll add that to the list. Wasn't Fletcher sent after-the-fact, like a late call from the Marshall's area? Like maybe they were throwing stuff against the wall to see what would stick?...
Please forgive me, but I can't see this whole post in my fone's winnder...
