Arrives at his station in Norfolk, not knowing how long he'll be there; mentions working in a carpentry shop, partying, putting curtains in windows in the Waves' barracks, mowing grass, pulling guard duty, going to a show in Norfolk, riding a street car for the first time, working as a messenger boy, weighing 132 pounds, sending home a package and pictures of himself and his buddies, buying a pen and pencil set, and drinking too much beer. Moves to Newport News on June 24 and really likes being right on a beach with no fences; mentions painting barracks, speed boat riding, fishing, cleaning a kitchen in a hotel, going to movies, visiting Buckroe Beach, and spending July 4 writing letters; complains about Donnie, a girl friend from home, not writing to him. Writes on July 7 and 8 from New York City, where his address is a pier; admires the high buildings; goes to church; buys a suitcase from a fellow seaman. 14 letters. |
