This would seem to defeat the purpose of a tape other than hearing the person's voice, which a written letter cannot do.

I was closer to 16 years than 18 years. I didn't even shave. I had no life experience. <br />The first year was difficult to adjust. Lots of homesickness and yearning for familiarity. Letters and calls from home was a big shot in the arm for me, as they are for all servicemen and women. <br />Thanks for this fine recording, Bob. All your recordings are winners in their various and unique ways.Muff Diverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589527136408204869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253281712354769447.post-50253628473315356182017-05-03T12:38:01.569-07:002017-05-03T12:38:01.569-07:00I often wonder how I'd deal with being in the ...I often wonder how I'd deal with being in the military, especially in a confined place like a ship. A submarine might be even harder. Thanks for posting this.Stu Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925848592170943032noreply@blogger.com
