About This Item

A "John Wayne"

NEW DESCRIPTION:

The P-38 is known as a "John Wayne" by the United States Marine Corps, either because of its toughness and dependability, or because of an unsubstantiated story that the actor had been shown in an as-yet-unidentified training film opening a can of K-Rations. The can opener is pocket-sized, approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm) long, and consists of a short metal blade that serves as a handle, with a small, hinged metal tooth that folds out to pierce the can lid. A notch just under the hinge point keeps the opener hooked around the rim of the can as the device is "walked" around to cut the lid out. A larger version called the P-51 is somewhat easier to operate. The handle portion can also double as a makeshift flat-blade screwdriver, with limited ability because of the rather soft sheet metal used.

Official military designations for the P-38 include "US ARMY POCKET CAN OPENER" and "OPENER, CAN, HAND, FOLDING, TYPE I".

Old Description:

I am one of four identical Ohio State golf balls. The others in my foursome are Birdie, Par, and Bogey.

On Vacation with MySweetie to the east coast of Florida and we stopped by Space Coast Geocaching Store and "A Cool Cache" (GC15RQB). We were probably there for 1.5 hrs. collecting all the TB's we could find (and we probably missed some) and shopping. OMG, this was fun! Thanks for Sharing!

This travel bug wound up at "A Cool Cache" Florida's most favorite traditional cache. Not sure if we forgot to retrieve it or if someone else dropped it here but nonetheless it is moving again. Thanks for sharing.
