The outline we have just gone through describes our working day, after the war was over. Now if you're not bored we would like to continue and tell you about some of the harder things we had to go through with. We spoke of getting up at 06l 5, but during war time we would get racked out anywhere from 0300 to 0530 every morning for Gene,-Ol Quarters . Every morning we would have General Quarters just before sunrise because this was when the enemy was most likely to strike. When we were close to enemy held territory we would get racked out at any time during the night. I know you will laugh when you hear that we went to General Quarters while passing under the Golden Gate Bridge. During war time our division was often found working all night unloading cargo, During these times we worked six hours on and six hours off, just so our ship would be able to pull out to sea at the set time. Yes, boot, we have seen some action, ln fact that is how we got our name Fighting Fox . K
