The Provisional Peoples' Democratic Republic of Diego Garcia Society of Usurperpatious Has-Beens Presents: HONCHOS* OF DIEGO GARCIA Just exactly who were the men (and sooner or later, women) who made life on Diego Garcia a living hell for the average slave, sailor, contractor, and airman? Did they mean well, or were they just plain evil? Who can say after all this time?   Here is
the Most Complete List of the Rogues that I
Could Find!
Har! Har!
If you have any names or information that can be added, or there is another line of tormenters you think should be included (I'm thinking specifically of people like ROICCs, NMCB COs, Command Master Chiefs and ROPO1s) send me their names, dates and positions, and if we can get a descent lineage started, I'll get it on the site! *
From the Japanese for Squad Leader (arch).
Big-Shot. Boss Hog.
