Norfolk, Va., August 6, 1917. Dear home folks: As all the boys say, “Am In the navy now.'’ When they first see a boy in civilian they inform you that he is a recruit today and a regret tomorrow The first thing they do when you ar rive here, they give you a towel, soap, suit of underwear and pair of socks, and tell you to take a bath. The bath rooms are just grand—shower baths with hot and cold water. Next, they give you a much more rigid examina tion than you take when you first en list, and if you are not up to the re quirements, you are still in danger of being discharged because of physical disability. Then you are vaccinated for small pox. For typhoid, we call it taking a ‘‘shot.” We will have to take three shots But you have to wait un til you get in a company to be shot for typhoid. After being vaccinated you get your allowance, which includes three suits of white, three suits of (Tress blue, two suits of dungarees, two suits of underwear, four pairs of socks, two pairs of shoes, three white hats, one blue hat, mattress and cover, ham mock for using on board ship, clothes bag, two large Turkish towels, enough soap to last six months, comb ami two military brushes, whist broom, two large blankets, which you are charg ed thirteen dollars and fifty cents for, and buttons, needles aud thread for mending all your clothes, in fact, you get everything you need and then some. After I got my allowance, Was assigned to a company and given a tent to live in. There are eight of us in our tent. Each man has a cot, and they are all right together. All of our company are In tents in rows and these rows of tents are called streets. There are 125 men to a company. We are now in the detention camp. Every new man has to come here and stay three weeks. The reason they isolate the new men from the old is to keep them from bringing in contagious diseases, and here the men are tested. When a man leaves here the officers have a fairly good idea of him, and it goes on his record. From the first day a man joins, a lecord is kept of him. If it’s good it goes on, and had just the same. A man in our company was caught shoot ing craps. He had to go to jail for two days, was tried and fined $24.50. Will speak later of the discipline. When ever 125 new men of the same rating come in they form a company. Then they begin drilling. Wish you could see us drill- it's fine. We drill about three hours in the morning and the same for the afternoon. We had a moving picture last night. Had it in the open. There were 1,000 or more of us; everybody was merry, and you can imagine how much we enjoyed the picture. The machine is owned by the station, and operated by Jackies. We have one or two pictures a week. This morning we marched (by we, 1 mean our company) over to the chapel and the chaplain gave us a talk. He was fine, and said for any of the boys to come and talk with him anytime. Also, said their mothers could write to him, and he would answer immediately and tell them all he knew about their keys. If you care to write him, just address your letter to Chaplain of Navy, Norfolk, Va., and any time yCU -wish to hear from me, you can find out where I am by writing to Captain Dayton, commander of naval station, Norfolk, Va. But you needn’t worry, for I'm going to write, and don’t be lieve I am going to be sick. If I should don’t worry about that, for we have a large hospital which affords as fine medical attention as there is in the U. S. A. Now let me inform you, I am some washerwoman. Have to wash almost every* day. They furnish us with laun dry soap and Scrub brushevs. We have wooden benches with hydrant. About fifteen feet overhead are ropes on which we hang our clothes. The clothes all bleach out white and no ironing if yon please. Every man’s clothes are inspected when taken away from the line. The name on the clothes you take must correspond with name on clothes which you have on. They have four men to watch the clothes all the time, each guard watch ing only a few hours at a time. I was on from 8 to 10 p. m. Thursday. A thief is shown no mercy here. He is dishonorably discharged from t T . S. N., sentenced to serve from one to three years in U. S. penitentiary; and for the rest of his life bears the disgrace of being a navy outcast and thief. About discipline: It’s the biggest thing here. It is what holds the navy together and makes it so powerful. Every man has a superior and is duty bound to obey his orders. The officers are all great, and treat us far better than you would expect. Our day starts at 5 a. m. The bugle wakes us every morning. Every man most get up at t Dce his led and bag ready for traveling: in general, must make his toilet, do all of his house cleaning and be ready for mess at 6 o’clock. The dining room is railed “mess hair and each meal is called mess. There are six messes each day, namely: at five and six, and eleven and twelve a. m„ and at five and six p. m.-We eat at second mess, ie, at six and twelve a. m„ and six p. m. At seven o’colck a. n\ the bugle sounds the sick call. Ev en man is privileged to go to doctor and get attention and medicine free At seven-thirty a. m. the muster call is sounded. Each company must line up in front of their homes and answer to the roll call. From the roll call we go to the drill ground. From six hun dred to one thousand of us drill on about one and a half acres of ground, each company having a separate com mander. “Colors" are sounded at seven a. m. and seven p. m. The bands on the ships and all of those in the station play “colors,” and at these hours the flag is raised and lowered respectively. Every man must stand at attention and salute no matter where he is oi what he is doing. Except, we are not allowed to salute if we are in the ranks drilling, but must stand at at tention aud the commanding officer only, salutes. You would be surprised at the aver age of the men here. It is a mistaken idea that the navy is composed of the scum of human kind. Taken on an av erage, don't believe there is a finer body of men in the world. They are forced to be moral and temperate, and the standards are far above the aver age of our nation. Any man who will rot live up to the standards is kicked out. The health conditions are “un beatable.” We have pure water, good eating and just enough physical exer cise to keep us tough and strong. Will not say any more about the bright side now. Except this, those who have join ed lately, can get a discharge after the war. Please do not worry about me, for I'm having a big time and am feeling better than I ever did before in my life. _ C. G.
