Letters Home - 1-5 Day



C077/K051    Feb 21 – Apr 25, 1990


I had previously written about 1-5 Day. However, having just received my letters home, I am now sharing my direct impression of the day. I will also add a like to my 1-5 Day story so, if anyone missed it, they would be read both.
Please remember I am transcribing my letter as is. The grammar was not the best at times. I was not always such a cunning linguist.


Hello Everyone                                                           90Mar09
Well, today was out 1-5 Day Division Inspection. It was really strange. Each section had a different CPO inspect the. And ours was a woman. She checked out bunks first then went to the lockers. I had two little things off in the locker. She took out everything one piece at a time and threw it on the floor. Our section was the only one that happened to.

Then when the lockers were done, our section had to do all sorts of push-ups and other fun physical things. We had the Division CPO come yell at our section. I think the other CPO had to go back to her company.
Now that day is over, I feel a little better. Last Thursday was the first shot day. My smallpox is starting to react and form blisters like ti supposed to do. Thursday, we went to dental and got our teeth checked. I need my right wisdom teeth pulled, and almost all of my fillings replaced. At least the Navy says I have to get that done. The for sub duty, the other two wisdom teeth come out.

Now, about my eye. It is getting better. I went over on Monday and Tuesday. The doctor says its healing, and I need to go back on March 19. As fas nuke school is going, I'm still not sure if I'll get cut or not. At the hospital, I was talking to some nukes, and they were telling me the Navy needed to cut nearly 50% of them. The Navy is cutting people for any little thing they can. One guy is getting cut because the Navy thought he had asthma. They are getting very picky on who they take now, so I might have to get a different job. I certainly hope not. I won't know until around March 19 or 20. Most of the Nukes I've talked to are in the electronics, and I'm in the mechanical end.

There is one other problem at the moment also. Out CC's might freeze our company in for one or two weeks. Mainly because of about 15 people that don't want to play sailor. They just don't like the recruit staff telling them what to do. I told Kathy about it, and she was worried. I don't think it will happen because the CC has to leave for New Jersey in the middle of May. Most of the screw-ups are getting sent to DSIT, Division Sidewalk Intensive training, to have their minds changed. The training is one hour of fast-paced push-up and other stuff.

Well, I let you know what is going on later, its almost tattoo, tattoo means lights out in 5 minutes. Send me the comics from the Sunday paper if you would.
Thank you! Bye for now!!
Jim
