First few days

After dyeing our own underwear green we were off to California. On board the USNS General Leroy Eltinge we found that our bunks were stacked six high . Too close for all of us but tried the system for 2 days. Two days out of San Francisco we hit a storm and 90% of the troops got seasick. I am unaffected and volunteered to pull extra shifts. Being on deck on a troopship in a major storm was totally awesome!  I loved the spray and the movement of the ship. Besides it smelled too bad down below :-)
