FEATURES the things featured in this book are riotously funny. You really had to be there to understand why those guys are smiling or why the others are sweating. The great chili cook-off brought out several grand and marvelous recipes for some hot fun. DIVISIONS Throughout the cruise we learned new skills and honed others that kept the razor edge on our ability to be seaworthy sailors. The Marines were a constant part of everything we did. They showed us a few tricks too, whether it was how to be trees or how to row a raft in Chinhae Bay. AND MORE Our memorandum of the cruise — this book, is jammed with so many of the memories of the exciting places we visited like Tokyo ' s Disneyland; and of the people we met. But more it is about what we became and the factors that shaped us.

PRE-SAIL Before the cruise got underway our last days stateside were spernt attending to as many of ttiose chores that could be completed to make the separation a little bit easier for those members of the Juneau family who would endure the cruise from ashore. And when we could do no more, the ship was cleaned from stem to stern. The brow was laid down. Our ship for a day was not really a battle wagon heavily geared for warfare. It was a romping pleasure craft out for a Sunday spin. Our families and friends were aboard to enjoy the de- pendent ' s cruise on what was to be our home for the next six months.
