AFTER first night of horror the
hammock is one popular place. Five
a. m. arrives when one feels that it
has been no more than ten minutes
since taps. In fact, one night about
10 O'Clock there was fire drill One
of the men was not awakened as soon
as the rest. He was told to pile out
quickly. Having heard that, but too
late, on previous occasion, he
promptly chit the deck grabbed his
towel and started for the bathroom
before he learned why he was up.
Each day brings with it new ex-
periences especially the first week.
Taking the shots. learning the mys-
teries of "swabbing the deck wash
ing mess gear" drilling, insurance,
clothing, dentist, barber, Red Cross
and numerous other excursions.
Wish to say that only those who
have received Red Cross articles are
in position to appreciate what a
great work this is. If the women
could see the expressions on the faces
and hear the comments of the men as
they examine the sweater, scarf,
socks and each article of the comfort
kit, they would know that their time
was we'll spent. They act for all the
world like bunch of kids at Christ
mas tree.
After the first week the work con-
sists of drilling and dental work. All
the work in this small world is done
by the Jackies themselves. When not
drilling everyone is learning trade,
such as shoveling snow, policing,
sentry, galley, laundry, messenger,
and such other work.
Returning to the first person, had
no idea there was SO much to write
about. l have left out many details
and humorous incidents that occur
to break the monotony, should there
be any.
