Kind of funny, one thing that comes up time and time again in reading stories from servicemen in the south pacific and I can't think of a single case where they had anything but praise for the Australians.  With a lot of the men folk deployed and apparently the U.S. Servicemen were highly paid by comparison, they enjoyed their leave in Australia. :)

I'd love to see some story focused around the naval aspect, and the aircraft battles that took place.

I remember when we were scheduled to go into Brisbane, all of my Marines had pretty much lined up chicks on the social media sites before we even got there.  Not to mention that every stripper in country, it seemed like, new the port visit schedule for that float.

So far I'd have to give it an 8 out of 10. It was 10 out of 10 before Episode 3, but I guess they needed to tell about getting some much needed "down under" liberty and unwinding after the big battle. Hanks said before the series started that it was going to explore how the men reacted outside of battle and not focus solely on the fighting.

Isobel Lucas...she was mostly known for a soap called "Home And Away", but she was in Transformers 2, Daybreakers and going to be in the new Red Dawn

I liked ep3, the wifes from Melbourne so it was interesting to see the take on the city circa '43

I am sorry but the episode was down right/under boring.

She's gorgeous...me likey her   :aok   Thanks for the info, I now have a new screen saver   hehehe 

Although ep3 wasn't the most exciting, It was nice to see those gents get some down time after the hell they'd been through.
