Mickey
USS Hermitage LSD-34 DEEP SHIT
Dear Cheryl,
I’m up to my ass now.
First, on the way back from Bermuda
I got caught sleeping on watch. Second,
I got in a fight in the chow line and was taken
straight to the Executive Officer’s stateroom.
He said, “This is it sailor. No more chances.”
Then I got busted drinking on a phony ID
and spent the night in jail. The next morning
I was right back up here.
Guess I won’t get liberty for a while.
Love, Mickey
P.S. My new girlfriend says I’m a godless alcoholic.
That slays me!
