Everyday Times? Many words have been written about life at sea. We will add a few more here. On a small ship such as LANG, even though amenities, the every- day tasks that sailors have been performing for years are still there. Whether these jobs are in sup- port of the crewls welfare, or making the ship move, or in the operation or repair of the many electronic systems, every man pitches in to make life at sea a team effort. The pictures that follow try to show some of these routine labors. When these are done not necessarily at the end of the common 8 5 day these men relax some again in a manner that sailors have known for years Others with the movie or radio or TV if the sh1p1s close enough to land to receive the stations Looking through the Dream Books Navy Exchange Catlogs deciding what to get at the stores draws a lot of attention But finding a quiet spot amongst all the machinery to think daydream maybe is something many try to do often for no matter how routine these days are this still is an alien way of life for most no matter how many times before they have lived it
