' ' p ' ' ' The Dutchessmen found realization of being permanently back in the f - States difficult. During the year that the Gung l-lo men had spent on the high f lfr seas, they had been relatively isolated and impervious to the currents of if fthought and feeling on the beach. As they now commenced to return to the V v mainstream of the nation's life, they found considerably more discontent and -disquietude ashore than aboard ship. The labor turmoil and problems of T .inflation at home and starvation overseas had their precedent in the aftermath .-of World War lg but now the security-shattering fact of the atomic bomb had 'T created mass apprehension. Particularly the planning and organization of funds for the Naval Serv- r ice seemed to be held in abeyance pending the atomic bombing of a fleet in the 'Marshall Islands in operation HCrossroads. With Congress failing to authorize expansion, with various groups pressing merger of all the armed - forces, and with' the nation's fundamental antipathy to military life reasserting itselfmin apathy toward the armed services, the Navy was sailing close-hauled Q in Shoal waters. However, many of the young in spiritfelt that this period of Turmoil might be the smelting furnace from which would 'emerge a revitalized W.rbrOade,r-thinking organization that would be of greater service to the whole HG'f1OI1, and possibly all nations. gk, 1 The ultimate effect of these factors was a scaling down of the Navy's am-- billOu.s expansion program and incidental curtailment of enlistments. Some Dutchessmen who had been postponing the day of decision were caught un- res when transfers from the Reserves to Regulars were suddenly prohib- lied in most rates. The total of seven enlisted Reserves who had previously lfdflsferred to'the Regulars plus the 28 Regular Navy men felt comparatively UFS: but not as secure as did their counterparts prior to 1940. .y 'F . r r ,AP A V x f-5, . 4 5 is H , Q. , , .
