Hello Sgt. Leo-
My God! I think about this every single time I watch a WWII DVD involving an amphibious landing!!! I used to be an avid Salmon & Halibut fisherman, but it took me a long time of doing it before I ever developed my "sea legs." To me there is NOTHING WORSE than sea-sickness! I have often wondered how men were able to fight at all after circling around in rough seas and then making the wave bustin' straight on trip towards the beach. I am not kidding a bit...it really is beyond my comprehension. I don't think I could do it myself...even under fire and/or orders. I am getting queesy right now just typing this post... 
Nothing like the smell of diesel, cordite and vomit to make your day...
