Tuesday 14 August 1944, At Sea
Dearest,
As I sit down to
write I find that all I can say is a repetition of what I have said in my
earlier letters. Work, eat, and sleep, with a little recreation in
the way checkers, gin rummy, acey ducey, and walking around the deck is a good
summary of my daily routine.
I was a little busier
in my office today and saw eight patients. I also spent about an
hour finishing up the cataloging the books in the ship's library.
Finished a murder
mystery last night and am beginning another today. Movies are not
shown at sea as a matter of security. In case of an emergency it is
felt that all the men aboard should not be congregated in one portion of the
ship--so no movies.
It is now almost time
for supper so I'm going to shower and change shirts as I've done lots of
sweating today.
I'll
see you in my dreams.
Love,
Gil
I never realized that about movies on board ship. But of course it makes sense.

ReplyDeleteWhen the USS Ocelot was not at sea, movies were shown on deck after dark. It didn't matter if it rained, my dad would wear rain gear. My dad mentions what films he saw and comments on them.
