Civil engineer corps bulletin - June 1949.
"Action at Peleliu"
Cdr P. Corradi's story of how the 33rd Seabees hit the beach and built a landing strip during the attack on Peleliu.
D-day - the first Seabees went ashore early this morning. They;ve been on barges at the reef all day, transferring beans, bullets, and men from the assault boats to the amphibious tractors that are being used as ferries between the reef and the beach. Mortar shells are dropping all around them, and disabled amtracks are piling up pretty fast. None of the transfer barges which are manned by the seabees have been hit.
It's amazing that there is any fight left in peleliu's defenders. For days the big guns of the pre-invasion bombardment force have been pouring heavy shells into the island. Since before dawn this morning, strike after strike of carrier planes have strafed and bombed the beaches. The lcir's have been whizzing 5-inch rockets into shore defenses all morning but still the jap mortars make the stretch from reef to beach deadly. The beach itself is a bedlam of gear, wrecked equipment, and pinned down marines and seabees.
About noon, freddie davis(lt c.f. Davis, cec, usnr) and obie obrien (chcarp e. E. O'brien, cec, usnr) went ashore with two hundred more thirty-thirders to join the shore party and help unscramble the beach.
D+1- we were to start work on the airfield today, but intense fighting is still going on at the southeast portion of the airdrome. The northwest portion is still in jap hands. The thirty-thirders are engaged entirely in shore party operations. Casualties amongst the aid parties have been extremely high, so our people have taken over stretcher bearer's assignments. We started a cemetery at orange beach today.
D+2- fighting has moved up to the northwest end of the airdrome. The skipper and hank auch (lt herman h. Auch, cec, usnr) made a reconnaissance of the airfield with colonel francis fenton, the division engineer, first marine division. There isn't much left of the jap strips. The pre-invasion bombardment and the fighting of the past two days has left them hardly recognizable as air strips. The plan is to repair one strip as a fighter field and to completely rebuild the other thirty five hundred foot strip as a bomber strip, extending it to 6,500 feet.
D+3- the mortar fire is too heavy at the reef to risk beaching the lst's hence no equipment is available to start the airfield work. We are going to work like the japs undoubtedly did- with pick and shovel. Lt walter suydam and fifty more of the battalions men were landed today with a supply of hand tools. A human chain was formed across the area where the jap strip had been, and we started to comb the place for shrapnel, unexploded bombs, booby traps, etc. Chief carpenter's mate, salvatore impelletteri, and his boys were kept busy disarming and disposing of the bombs and booby traps. A mound of heaped up pieces of shrapnel soon began to form. Impelletteri's crew dug up a jap torpedo war head that had been rigged with a pressure tripping device. The easterly end of the former strip had been cleared by dark.
D+4- filling in the holes at the east end of the strip was begun at dawn. The work is hot and slow. Crockford was killed. The battalion command post was moved up to the strip from the beach. Dugouts were excavated to replace the individual fox holes. A battery of 155-mm guns was set up in our bivouac are. The pontoon causeway sections were launched form our lst's and some of the heavy equipment was transferred from the tank decks to the pontoons via the bow doors. This had to be done outside the range of the shore guns in deep water. When the tractors, shovels, trucks, etc. Had been moved onto the pontoons, the causeways were tied up alongside the lst's for the rest of the night.
D+5- the 155's fired over our heads all last night. After the sound had been likened to a subway express by a few former denizens of new york, little further note was taken of them and we even managed to sleep while the guns pumped shells all night into bloody nose ridge. One loaded causeway section was beached and we now have 2 trucks, 3 graders, and a dozer with scraper. Repair work on the fighter strip really speeded up with the acquisition of this equipment. A damaged fighter plane landed on our partially completed strip this afternoon. Our rubber tired motor graders were practically immobilized by the many bits of shrapnel that still cover the field. Efforts were re-doubled to clean up the remainder of the steel fragments. Snipers still cause work stoppages. The carpenter crew that started erection of the flight operations tower, which lt cambell and wo hynes had prefabricated back in the russells, was twice stopped by sniper fire.
D+6- more equipment was landed over the pontoon causeway today. Twenty three officers and six hundred and seventy three men are now ashore with the battalion. Enough equipment is at hand to start construction of the bomber strip. Freddie davis shore party group has rejoined the battalion foor the airfield work. More dugouts were excavated and tarps were stretched over them to keep out the blistering sun and, alternately, the pouring rain. A squadron of our fighters landed on the strip this afternoon. We started the fighter taxiways. We had our first hot meal today.
D+7- heavy rains today. We concentrated on removal of wrecked equipment from around and in the airfield. Someone counted over one hundred enemy aircraft that we had hauled to a central dump. The borrow pit for coral is in full operation. No one thought thought the one and one half cubic yard shovel would ever make it over the floating pontoon causeway which is only two pontoons wide. The heavy equipment crew moved it safely, however. Fighting continues on the northwest edge of the airdrome. Chief strasser was killed today.
D+8- unloading the construction equipment has finally been completed. We now have our own distillation units. One was put into immediate operation. We had been drinking water that was hauled ashore in steamed out oil drums, but its taste was horrible. Work is proceeding on the bomber strip taxiways. We tried to make better time by working after dark tonight, but the marines shot out our lights which were silhouetting their troops on the slope below bloody nose ridge. We worked for awhile by moonlight. The heat and the flies are bad. Doc york and doc geer are busy with their numerous dysentery patients.
D+9- impelletteri's crew has all mines, duds, and booby traps cleared from the airfield area but they can't be everywhere. Chief pellissier and gene yuettner were wounded by a booby trap today while attempting to salvage some enemy gear. One jap roller has been reapaired and was put into service on the taxiway today. Grading continues.
D+10- the coral pit is really producing. Surfacing of the bomber strip has been started. The argus 20 radar installation was completed today. The crew that has been trying to put in the avgas spillway on the west road has not been able to get back to location as fighting has broken out there again. Attempts to drill wells for fresh water have been unsuccessful. Since brackish water is the best we can bring in, myron watson (ccm, cec, usnr) is hooking up the intake to the distillation units to the best of the brackish water wells. Today we have a gang shower piped up from the well. What a joy!
D+11- we worked all night last night hauling coral. The moon was bright and the star shells over bloody nose ridge gave an almost continuous bright light. Today, work was resumed on the avgas spillway. The temporary camp is well along. We have cots set up in the dugouts, dormitory style. The galley tent is serving hot meals continuously.
D+12- thew enemy resistance has been pretty well localized on bloody nose ridge. Our fighter planes are taking off almost continuously from the strip we put into operation just a few days ago. They are strafing and bombing the enemy on the ridge about a thousand yards yards to the north of the strip itself. The skipper took a reconnaissance trip in a piper cub today. He reported that the marine pilot who flew him took along a supply of hand grenades which he tossed out at likely targets. As a result of this and other reconnaissance it was decided to locate the proposed hospital up the west coast of the island on land which has not yet been secured. Lt bety was assigned the job of following up on the hospital.
D+13- work progresses on the bomber strip. Planes continue to pile in and emphasis has shifted to providing taxiways and dispersal areas for them. Twenty four hour operation has been approved and coral hauling help from other units obtained. There was a rumor that the japs had surrendered today, but the intense firing on the ridge continues. Bell and bartlett were killed.
For this, the thirty third received a navy unit commendation, while the shore party who landed on d-day was awarded a presidential unit citation.

Re: THESE STORIES MUST BE TOLD......SHARED.
There was some questions about the real event that was portrayed in the 1944 movie, THE FIGHTING SEABEES starring John Wayne:
It was during the landing on Treasury Island in the Solomons, on 28 November 1943, that Fireman 1st Class Aurelio Tassone, USNR, of the 87th Naval Construction Battalion created that legendary figure of the Seabee astride his bulldozer rolling over enemy positions. Tassone was driving his bulldozer ashore during the landing when Lieutenant Charles E. Turnbull, CEC, USNR, told him a Japanese pillbox was holding up the advance from the beach. Tassone drove his dozer toward the pillbox, using the blade as a shield, while Lieutenant Turnbull provided covering fire with his carbine. Under continuous heavy fire, Tassone crushed the pillbox with the dozer blade, killing all 12 of its occupants. For this act Tassone was awarded the Silver Star.
Another milestone in Seabee history was in the making in 1943 -- but the location was Hollywood rather than the South Pacific. Made in 1943 and released in early 1944, the motion picture The Fighting Seabees, starring John Wayne and Susan Hayward. That movie made "Seabee" a household word during the latter part of the war. This picture also began a relationship between John Wayne and the Seabees which was to last more than three decades. In fact, John Wayne's last motion picture was Home for the Seabees, a Navy documentary filmed in 1977 at the Naval Construction Battalion Center, Port Hueneme, California. This was most appropriate, since the exteriors of The Fighting Seabees, had been filmed in and around the same base during World War II.
There are others who claim it was the action of D+3 above when Salatore Impelletteri during the battle of Peleliu...Chief

Re: THESE STORIES MUST BE TOLD......SHARED.
When I was in the Navy I was stationed on the USS PELELIU LHA 5 for 5 years, 82-87. When we went to sea they would always play a documentary about the battle of Peleliu, they didn't hold back on the bloody parts either. It was a horrible battle that got very little recognition at the time. On our inaugural WestPac cruise we went to Peleliu, we took the troop boats ashore landing where the troops did on the invasion, there was still a lot of things left over from the battle. I saw a couple of burned out airplanes that the jungle had claimed, the airstrip is still there, though the jungle had claimed some of it. The island is so small that there would only be a few minutes between liftoff dropping the bombs and landing to rearm with more bombs. We were forbidden from leaving a well worn path from the beach to the village due to unexploded ordinance. Unfired rifle and handgun rounds were everywhere as well as spent brass. We did get to go in one of the many caves the Japanese had dug out of solid volcanic rock, they were small cramped and damp, it was a miserable place to be and there wasn't anyone shooting at us. We had a picnic with the King and the people of the village. They were very friendly and hospitable, they treated us like we were life long friends. I played soccer with the kids and then they wanted to play karate ( I think they had been watching Bruce Lee movies). I'll remember that trip for the rest of my live.

07/03/12 In recognition of our very hot summer, Charles reads "The Girls In Their Summer Dresses", a story taking place in Greenwich Village, about a couple in a very tenuous marriage. The story is written by Irwin Shaw (1913-1984), a prolific screen writer, novelist and short story writer. Beryl reads "You Make Me Mad" by American writer Paul Theroux (1941- ). The story, a "tongue-in-cheek" version of a husband's desire to leave his marriage, using rather violent methods, takes place in Singapore. Theroux, a writer of travel fiction and his own travels in the far east, began his journeys to distant lands in the Peace Corps.

System Administation: Maximizing System Security, Part 1
One of the most hackneyed cliches in all of UNIX culture is that UNIX security is a contradiction in terms. While things aren't quite as hopeless as this cynical view, it is important to realize that a secure system is something you create, not something you get automatically when you install any current Linux distribution (or any other UNIX operating system for that matter).
This article provides an overview of UNIX security issues, and discusses the resources and tools available to Linux system administrators or anyone responsible for administering a Linux system—which are not necessarily synonymous. It considers what the most important issues are and what exists to defend the system. And since many of the most egregious "UNIX" security problems are actually vulnerabilities in TCP/IP networking and its component protocols, we naturally consider network security issues, as well as those relevant to an isolated computer system.
General discussions of computer security traditionally focus on the types of losses that can result from inadequate security measures:
Loss of equipment. The first or last threat to any computer system (depending on your point of view) is the loss of the computer itself. This can result from a variety of causes: theft, fire, water, earthquakes and other natural disasters, vandalism, and accidents (e.g., a user spilling coffee on it).
Loss of data. This type of loss can also occur in a variety of ways: data could be obtained by someone who should not have it (for example, a competitor), files could be accidentally or deliberately damaged or destroyed, or information that should have remained private could become publically accessible or broadcast.
Loss of use. A third type of loss can occur when neither the equipment nor its data is damaged, destroyed or removed, but the system is nevertheless unable to perform some or all of its normal functions. For example, an extended power outage could cause such a loss of use; the 1988 Internet worm incident is an example of software rendering a computer unusable.
Depending on your situation, some of these threats are obviously more potentially hazardous to you than others.
Effective thinking about security begins by considering potential losses rather than potential threats, because doing so allows you to place the threats in the context of your system and thereby make appropriate choices about how to prevent and address them. For example, every system has the potential of being broken into by an unauthorized person. However, the specific nature of that threat changes depending on the sort of loss that would be its most serious consequence—as do the corresponding measures to prevent the loss.
A successful intruder always has the potential to alter or destroy any file on the system, so every system needs to guard against and have a plan for recovering from that eventuality. In addition, for a system containing sensitive or proprietary data (customer credit card numbers, source codes for software products under development, and so on) one might need to consider ways of securing such data even from the root account. On the other hand, if loss of use is the primary loss against which a system needs to be protected, then devising ways of quickly identifying and neutralizing such an attack is much more important than providing extra security for any of the data on the system.
As these scenarios suggest, security involves more than just prevention against attacks. Equally important components of computer security are the recovery plans which specify what to do when something goes wrong. Computer security is not something you think about once in a while, but rather something that is an integral part of your thinking and actions in every administrative activity you perform. It includes the following concerns (not all of which will necessarily apply to any specific system):
Physical system access
Theft prevention—locks and so on
Prevention of physical and electronic vandalism
Ensuring continuous power via an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) unit
Fire control systems, surge suppressors, and other devices to prevent damage from the external environment
User authentication: passwords and other mechanisms
Modem access (dialin and dialout)
File ownership and protection
Encryption of very sensitive or private data
Network access policies and network software configuration
NFS configuration
Procedures and policies related to building, testing, installing and using public domain software
Backup procedures
Secure storage of backup media (including offsite copies)
Storage of original operating system media
Disaster recovery plans
User training for good security practices
A thorough discussion of all of these topics would consume several entire issues of Linux Journal, so we focus on operating system-level protections and solutions useful for Linux systems, in terms of both "standard" features and useful additional packages. Security facilities offered by the various Linux distributions vary considerably, but no current distribution includes everything that a prudent system administrator would want to have and use.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
