Romancing the StiZone, Su. Americano Edition

one of my favourite GI Joes was Reconn. his modus operandi was to reconnoiter, to check out the scene of whatever theatre of operation was on the schedule that day over at GI Joe HQ. so, "Reconn" very concise and abbrevious, no? There are, moreover, many ways that Reconn might spend his day. THERE is the magic! because it is not exactly specific to any ONE course of action, this makes him a meastro of mysterio.

Duke might ask Sgt.Extra of the current status of FlameThrower, or Saboteur, or HALO.

ok, you got me: everyone has an ambiguous title, meant to concele their activities or whereAbouts. FlameThrower is probably torching something. Saboteur is F'ing up a device of the enemy. HALO is doing high altitude landing ops.

Reconn is just sorta checking things out. here are a few suggestions from our readers of what Reconn could be scheming.

reconning the sushi selection at Stop and Shop, for freshness.
reconning the road patterns down Atlantic Ave, by Commercial Wharf, BOS
reconning B.U. gals propensity for bussing their cups and dishes at the CommAve Espresso Royal Cafe.

here is to our comrade and comradine in SudAmericano. They win the Reconn Award: sub-award, Romancing the Stone with Michael Douglas and Kathline Turner Award.
we love you and wish you great and safe travels. keep on checking cool shit out.

Poot sends.

ps, send word if you need snake bite kit or clean wife beaters.
