LEISURE A word easy enough to say, but not easy to work into a six month De- iloyment. The Persian Gulf has the lotential to become hot at any given noment. The USS STARK and USS lAMUEL B. ROBERTS were placed d life threatening situations without earning. Not a very relaxing environ- lent. There were a few moments that ' ere used, however, for rest and relax- tion. Port visits were the best times unwind and experience new and ex- iting cultures. Sunday picnics on The ' antail, steel beaches as they are called, broke up the weeks of under- way. The Administrative Support Unit, Bahrain gave crew members the opportunity to eat a greasy cheese- burger and fries, work out in the gym, and cheap cold beer. Some of the things we all take for granted were sorely missed this de- ployment: watching a movie or ball game, reading a book or just doing nothing at all. Nothing is missed until you have it and it is taken away. 57
