Upon Colonial ' s return from typhoon evasion we had to immediately get underway for a replenishment. While at sea, we learned of the Tonkin Gulf attack.

This monotony was broken by our Sunday morning replenish- ments and by the daily flight quarters, which brought occasional mail and chaplains. Mail took some time catching up with us, and there isn ' t a man in the crew who will forget that first mail call. During our days on s tation one feature stood out on board Colonial-the marines. Marines were everywhere-firing small arms 0-2 deck forward, lecturing 0-2 deck aft, filling out a second chow line, swelling the crowds at nightly bingo, and necessitating a second showing at movie call. It made close quarters, but on the end, we were sorry to see them go. They had been good shipmates,. - A little sun at noon. Land ho! And another unrep.
