We had been in San Francisco two or three days, joining other ships, the Army and the Air Force, in preparing to invade Japan. Excitement was everywhere, and some lucky sailors were given a few days of leave.I was not one of them. I did not get leave after boot camp, nor after radar school, and not even when I got out of the hospital.
I have called the day I was told no leave the saddest day of my life. I wasn't afraid to go to Japan but I wanted to see my family first.
