Unloading the HMAS Sydney
Vietnam 1968
17 January arrived on board the HMAS Sydney, what a trip, no way to start a great adventure.
Thank God for Blanchie and the boys at least this bunch of Nashos made the trip bearable. The cheating card games with Brutus got us by during the long boring days watching the Matlois go about their stuff. The movies in the hanger deck were okay until you found yourself covered with all the crap from the floor. No wonder most sailors are slim how could anybody eat that shit they call food. The large can of beer at the end of the day was great, with a bit of talking you could manage a extra can of two from the non drinkers (there were one of two)
