The McSkunkville Marines · Bandung, Indonesia
Every town has a courthouse and a coffee pot; Bandung is no different. These days, Bandung folks stream the lore pages late into the night, and Wherever Bandung needs a story with a spine, the town obliges.
The Stripe Corps swears its oath on the Book itself: protect the weak, obey the lawful, record the rest. Colonel 'Oak' Redcloud — Josie's grandfather — has led it for thirty years without losing a recruit or a court case.
They march in the harvest parade, dig out storm cellars, and stand guard at the Exchange bell. Their discipline is the town's pride; their kindness is its secret.
Corps motto: SEMPER VERUM — always true.
Worldwide Access — The McSkunkville Marines greets readers in Bandung and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
