Lots of Freepers have Mojo stories.

Oh yes! Here is my story about drinking Mojo in Okinawa as a young Marine:
hmmmm... I can't remember now.
Stumpy, thanks for the background on Mojo. I always wondered what was up with that stuff. Anyone know the "ingredients"??

Mojo consisted of Saki, Sloe Gin, Beer, 7-up and orange soda pop. Looked a lot like (and had a sort of similar taste) to hawaiin punch. But a very subtle kick.

Oh yes... I remember the taste vividly but we could never get any of the nationals to give us the formula.
Thanks! I know what making for the New Year's party!

I drank something Christmas day 1944 with a group of soldiers at Ormoc, Leyte, PI. It must have been MOJO cause it tasted like fire and when I got up to go back to my ship I still can't remember it.

Funny, I thought MOJO was the nickname of the Odessa Permian High School football team that "almost" always beat my High School!
But I'll bet you have a Marine story....
To: stumpy
Sounds like the "Orange Oscar" we got in Korea. . . .

Okinawa sea stories, huh? Try this one.
As a young Marine, I spent a few days at Camp Sukeran one time, so naturally first chance we get, my buddy and I head out for the vil to check out the babes and drink some of the local saki.
Long story short, we ended up on the second floor of some gadawful bar in downtown Naha that night, both got plastered as hell, and I wake up in the Naval Hospital the next morning with two broken legs.
I hurt like crazy and was carrying a hangover the size of an Ontos. Nobody seems to know how I got there and what happened me, except that my buddy brought me in and then left right away to make company roll call at 0530.
Soon as evening visitors call sounds, my buddy shows up and I asked what the hell happened last night.
He says "Your raggedy rear end was so drunk last night that you bet that mommasan $20 bucks that you could jump out that window and fly all the way around that building. She took the bet and you gave it a try."
"Thanks a lot, pal" I said. "Why the hell didn't you try to stop me."
"Well," he says "I was so messed up that I kinda thought you could do it ... so I had a sawbuck riding on you myself."
