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

Steel beaches And on the seventh day they will rest. Holiday routine, sleeping until lunch, and going to the beach. Steel beach that is. Cheeseburgers, Baked Beans, Potato Chips, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, free sodas and a theme were on the MENU. There was a Hat Day, Wild T-Shirt day and a Kite Flying Day as some of the theme s. Each week a different department would provide personnel to set up and clean up, along with cooks, for the grill. The Kite Contest was the most in- teresting Steel beach. The Captain took a big chance by stating the kites had to be built out of materials found onboard. Luckily the XO wasn ' t miss , ing his door, again. A panel of judgef] voted on the Best Kite. The Flighlj Crash Alarm was converted into thf Kite Crash Alarm. A good time had bjl all. LCDR Keaney and LT Hirst relax in their lawn chairs. SMS Bradford and QMSN Sundstrom eat prior to going on watch. EMCS Waterson, HM3 Herman and BMCS Travere, judge the Kite Flying Contest. The mess line is outside today. 58
