Jonn was a longtime friend of the blog, and a heck of a milblogger. 
Well, we all end the Land Nav course of life someday, and for Jonn, that day was yesterday. He had a heart attack and passed away at the hospital. All men die, not all men truly live. Jonn did though, Lord knows Jonn did.

By 1944, the US had been at war for over two years. But the final 18 months of the war would see ever increasing numbers of casualties, as the number of divisions committed to combat rose. 

180712-F-ID393-278 (July 12, 2018) PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE FACILITY BARKING SANDS, Hawaii — U.S. Army and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) members launch missiles from Pacific Missile Range Facility Barking Sands at the decommissioned ex-USS Racine (LST-1191), positioned at sea, during a sinking exercise as part of the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise. This marks the first time the U.S. Army and JGSDF have participated in a sinking exercise during RIMPAC. Twenty-five nations, 46 ships, five submarines, and about 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 27 to Aug. 2 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security of the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2018 is the 26th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Air Force video by Airman 1st Class Nathan Barbour/Released)
