PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I have tried to sleep on one of your racks before! For like, 20 nights, Seattle to Inchon. Now, you want me to pay for sleepless nights?

SCPO Morris Ramsey I couldn’t wait to be rid of the
WW II HBTs.

Finally, at a shower point in Korea, 3-5? miles down a dusty road in the rear of a GMC 2-1/2 ton, our clothes were DXed and we received the standard cotton fatigues. Those had been dipped in the very aromatic ‘Miticide’ to protect us from some insect.

I did one summer cruise at school on a sub. Never again. I may not go outside on a surface ship for days, but I at least have the ability....
