16 and drew thirty of them and mine was one. Love, Evelyn P.F.C. Charles Glenday Germany . Dear Dad, g Just a line or two to let you know that I'm O.K. and we're doing fine. Old Adolf will have to count his men again. I've enclosed a clipping from the UStars and Stripes.n You can see that this is sure a swell outfit. Old Jerry has learned to respect us, Dad. As ever, Charley Charles A. Lepisto, Jr. A.M.M.3fc U.S.N.R. February 25, 1945 Well, I'm back here at Daytona again after going out to sea for three days on the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Solomons.. We went about 150 miles out to sea and I must day it's just about the most exciting thing that I have ever done. I didn't get one bit sea sick, and boy the ocean was really rough too. It's hard to believe that a F6F Hellcat can take off in about 250 feet and land in about 100 feet, but they do, I wish you could have been there, Dad, you would have found it very interest- ing. Sunday, I rode in a C-47 from here to Fort Lauderdale where we caught a bus to Port Everglades a few miles south and while we were waiting for a motor launch to take us out to the carrier, which was a few miles out, I went aboard a couple of Italian Submarines which were docked there, boy they were really something to see. Then we took the motor launch out there and boy was it rou h. I got all wet as did everyone else as the waves were slashing against the boat. A We came back into port Tuesday afternoon and boy, it's surely an interesting experience to see the tug boats bring such a big ship into dock. Then we took a Load Star or R 50 which is a ' luxury, two-engined air liner back to Daytona. X Charles Martin Glenday S Florida X Well things have been changing around here. we had induction yesterday and got our badges. Cwe have badges with our name and number on, something like the blanket mi1l.J For liberty we'll get every other day off and three out of four week-ends. That is, we have liberty when we're not work- ing, except every other day. ' The sun is shinning out now and it's just like a March day back home. It had been raining since we got here Tuesday night. And when it rains it's a cold, windy rain. Our gear came last night so we have our P-Coats and all our needs. All my love, Marty
