Our Ride to the Shore

You would have never made it then on a troop ship where you had to walk sideways to go from point A to Point B. Some of the bunks were 8 or 9 high and on the way over if we wanted to turn over in the bunk we had to get out - turn around and then get back into the bunk. God forbid you stepped on someone's fingers while doing the balancing act to turn over.

 

The bigger worry was that somebody higher up than you would get sick and...........that made things messy. It was also hard because ALL your equipment including your rifle was also in the bunk with you.

 

It was no pleasure cruise and with the crowded conditions it was a big plus to get up on deck and breath some fresh air.

 

Thank God they fly the people today!!
