It is a time of instant friendship for those sharing a common sense of hardshhx. It is a time of instant hate for the mid- shipmen who deliver victims to the barber and for the fellow in the Smo- key-the-Bear hat giving unintelligible orders on the dril fiel . It is a time to learn new terminology: Yes, sir! Cover down! Irish pennant, PT, Oh-five- hundred hours. At the end of the week comes a time to picnic and, at last, a time to rest. Loo ing back, we realize it was a lot of fun . . . but I wouldn 't want to do it again.
