WHAT IS A SAILOR? Between the stages of childhood and insecurity of a second childhood, we find a fascinating group of humanity, the SAILOR. The SAILOR comes in assorted sizes, shapes, weights, and looks. They can be found anywhere, on ships, on shore stations, in bars, on leave, in love and always in debt. Girls love him, towns tolerate them, and Uncle Sam supports them. The SAILOR is laziness with a deck of cards, bravery with a tattooed arm, and the protector of our country with a copy of Playboy. The SAILOR has the energy of a turtle, the slyness of a fox, the brains of an idiot, the stories of a sea captain, the sincerity of a liar, the tenderness of a cassanova, and when he wants something, it is usually connected in someway or another with a liberty card. The SAILOR likes women, girls, dames, and any of the opposite sex. They dislike answering letters, wearing uniforms, field days, watches, standing at attention, the chow, and getting up in the morning, on time. No one else can cram into one jumper pocket: a little black book, a comb, some change, his locker keys, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and his I.D. card and liberty card. The SAILOR likes to spend some of his pay on women, females, and just girls in general. He spends some of his money on poker games, subscriptions to any men ' s magazine, cigarettes, whiskey, beer, races, fights, and any other means of gambling. The rest of his money he spends foolishly. After months of seeing his fellow service buddies wooing their women, each SAILOR thinks he is a master of the art himself. The SAILOR is a magic creature that you can lock out of your house, but not your heart. You can scratch his name out of your address book, but not out of your mind. He ' s your far away from home lover, your husband, your son, your one and only, or your blurry eyed bundle of worry. All your dreams become insignificant when the SAILOR comes home with that tender loving phrase that has lasted for years, HIYA BABE, WHAT ' S FOR CHOW? I ' d like to thank Michelle for her help and understanding. Without her I wouldn ' t have gotten this project out of the planning stage. Larry, thanks for typing - I can ' t. Greg 80
