might be why I was Navy instead.
Its not a radio he has in front of him it is a field telephone switchboard. What was even worse was some poor volunteer had to string miles of twisted pair line from HQ to the field command positions then roll it up and re lay it every time they movedQuote:

These messages never date.
As I looked at the poster, same thing came to mind.
All of us have broken tools, less of those we've paid for.

Notice, only the ball peen hammer is accurately portrayed. Not giving away a single identifying profile.

Keep 'em coming Jon, every one a treasure.
Pardon my ignorance, but what are "NCR Tools"? NCR where I come from is Non-conformance register, or the brand of a cash register company... I susepct by the context it might have another meaning no longer in common use....Quote:

Keep them coming.
Going up on my shop wall.
Nice poster although the message is a dubious one.
There are only two jobs that are related to the sex of the worker. Mother and Father, and for those only up to birth and conception. EVERYTHING else is just work that needs to be done. My instructor in the machining class I'm in now is female, and knows the job frontward and backwards, on both manual and CNC machines. She was and is much better than the male instructor she was working with with. I've not been in the new guy's class yet, so couldn't say from my own knowledge about him, but the few folks I've talked to who've been with him in the day class aren't particularly impressed.Quote:

The watchwords before someone thought OSHA was a good idea!
Did I mention!!!?
I was not implying that the wimmins did not make good Tradesmen or that they could not work as hard but referring to the fact that more people competing for jobs lowers wages AND standards which leads to destruction of the nuclear family. Many men would have no problem running the house and looking after kids if the wimmins they married could earn more.
History and facts are interesting things. Men and the wimmins have historically worked side by side for mutual benefit. The deliberate destruction of cultures in Europe circa A.D. 300 changed things for the worse and 'third &fourth wave' femicommunism have helped no-one.
Hang about! A lot of the factories were already full of the wimmins. Had been since the industrial revolution began.
Agreed, the other sex had occupied plants since Industrial Revolution, probably somewhat before. I think many were textile related, conflicts may have pulled higher percentages into real industry. I believe the carrier USS Midway CV41 was built almost exclusively by women.
Once again, legitimate imagery beats clickbait...
Date not visible. Easily one of Doolittle's flight crews; not all made it to China.
Shortsighted to say the least militarily, a POW pilot is a store of information. Propaganda is not.
I've cropped and corrected the border for appearance, yet thinking not many will print this.

I've collected War Production Board art awhile, very few are jingoistic or cast negative light on adversaries, the more positive side of "Keep up the Good Work" prevail.
