They showed us that video in boot camp. Pretty scary stuff.
I remember, when returning from a 2 month Alpac, it was known that the BMC had picked up the drip drip drip. Us single quartermasters stood on the bridge-wing watching in amazment as he greeted and kissed his wife on the pier. I never liked the guy since the time he caught me painting white paint over rust, but that moment made me really despise him.
I think the Aleuts are a bit uh....more hardened looking than Inupiats or Yup'iks. Did you two get a hospitaliy offer in the igloo? LOLOL.

Jane was an Aleut who literally dragged me on the dance floor when I was alone and working up in Anchorage taking care of Eskimos and Indians. ANMC used to be on 3rd and Gambell.
I think it's 5th and Gambell now, but shoot, I never looked that way...thank GOD...the story however, rings true...and the square faced squat sizing is evolutionarily efficient, I'm told, as a heat retainer... J-
Square faced. Squat. Lined face from being out on the sea for years. You know the look.....Aleut.
Uh....I was young and SCARED to death. LOLOLOLOL. FIB

I am BM...thanks. I am ready to meet a new woman and start life anew. This just needs to get done. Outside of reaching a settlement, there should be no further need to exude anger, hate, etc. I read your post and don't feel bad about the ring thing. Yes..it stings for awhile. Leave him to his own devices.
Favorite Alaskan village names:
Unalakleet
Anuktuvuk
Eggegik
Nasty memories of Alaska:
the insidious cold..will never forget how quickly you lose sensation in your fingers
trying an 'Eskimo ear pull' and losing (OUCH)
muktuk
Eskimo version of ice cream (lingonberries and seal lard)
driving 3-5 hours to arrive where you want to get to in time to have enough sunlight to see what you want to see when you get there
the hospital menu: fish, fish, fish, fish
Chilkoot Charlies..somebody got busted up there every night

Hey Jack, yep, Frank is a saint for putting up with the likes of her.
FIB, you are right, you need to settle this and get your footing. Take some time to heal and get your head straight. You will know when you are ready to test the waters.
