Ramblings From the Editor!
|
We breathed diesel fumes, drank stale water, and didn't bathe for weeks on end. We slept in bunks that a homeless person wouldn't touch, and usually wound up with someone's smelly feet in our faces. Our tales of daring-do revolved not around heroism and duty to country, but to the last bar brawl and the blond barmaid with the tattoo on her arm. In ports across the world we caroused like drunken Vikings, staggering down the dirty streets, smelling of diesel fumes and beer. This is what we lived. This is what we were. Not heroes, nor villains, nor the great American fighting man. We were just a bunch of crazy kids that loved our country, the Navy and, most of all, our boat." Hell, maybe we were heroes!! Pecos
