" I got a letter from Kevin last night. He said that he didn't like the 'Connie' (USS Constellation CV-64) at all and wished he hadn't swapped.
I sold my wide-angle lens today to Lt. Stewart for $40. I should've asked more, I had 4 or 5 calls about it. 151 days 'til I'm home."

"Payday today. 152 days left of the cruise and 647 days left in the Nav. I got $49 & owe $14 of it, which leaves me with $35 'til the end of the month.
I went to sick call today because my left knee started acting up again. The Doc said the same things all the others said. He gave me some pain pills and told me to take whirlpools."

"We pulled out of Pusan today and went back on shifts. I find it very hard to sleep in the compartment during the day, there's too much noise and everyone keeps turning on the lights.
Everything is just about same-same. No mail, probably won't have a mail call 'til the 18th because they're flying on jet engines and don't have room for incoming mail."

"We worked about a half day today. So I borrowed some money from Dale and went on the beach. Just went to the Army Compound and wound up getting a backgammon board set & a cribbage board. Liberty secured at midnight, I was aboard by 9."
