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.

Discovered it. Spent the weekend at Hike & Seek 3.0 in Highlands Hammock State Park. While there, we saw lots & lots of trackables. This is one we spotted either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I just wrote them all in my notebook, but didn't date them & I'm just logging them all for Saturday. It was an awesome event, met great people, found new caches, some tough ones too, participated in the Amazing Race, and even helped out in a CITO. Thank you for sharing these over the weekend!
