Every ciiiise has its share of work, loneliness, anger, fatigue, responsibility, pride, as well as laughter. Sometimes the laughter comes later, in retrospect, from the pure joy of sharing experience with odiers. It is this connadeship which helps to bring men closer together in times of stress and through the monotony of repetitious tasks which are necessaiy Init dull. Sometimes this closeness will highlight even the most routine tasks in our memories and sei e as reminders of the cniise.
