Oh--hum! Egad! Reveille so soon? I'll be glad when I am Home againg I'll sleep clear through to noon. ' Dear Folks: This 0330 reveille Was not designed for meg If I'd only known it soon enough I'd never put to sea. Four oiclock, Flight Quarters, All stations must be manned, Planes fueled, armed and chocked. Boy, this Navy life is grand. Four-thirty comes and brings G.Q. Such a rush you'll never see, As sailors manning Battle Stations In enemy sections of the sea. F ive-thirty finally rolls around, The sun begins to climb. Two hours now have I been up, Two hours of should be slumber time. Six-thirty-Mess Gear, Seven oiclock, we eat. It seems thc day must soon be oicrg So I can go back to sleep. Eight oiclock, sweep down, The day has just begun, The second flight's about to leave, And things begin to hum. Degassing crews and gassing crews Are busy at their tasks, Aviation ordnancemen Are always running past. Bombs and rockets fit in place With a precision how-do-you-dog All hands run the obstacle course Set up by the handling crew. Eleven oiclock, Mess Gear! How can we ever win? I know right after chow, We'll do it all over again. When evening finally rolls around All hands will darken ship, Then it will be too dark to fly, And I can take that slumber trip. just at the final re-spot, You feel about to relax, When you hear that familiar Clang-clang! Here come those !!!XXXM! I Japs! I'll never make a Navy man, . The above I do repeat, f. The Navyjs not within my line, I I like too well to sleep. 1, Lotsa love, Your son, I. W. F.
