Hi mom, doing fine. As you can see I got everything the Navy promised. Hot beach, lots of sand, water from my camelbak, three square meals a day and I even can cook outdoors. Got to go, today we are making bread for the Captain and I see the yeast is working. Well you were right, 119 degrees is perfect for raising bread. Love to all, CSG Murphy

your tasty mustard and onion sandwiches, and the beach umbrella with the big hole in it “

We ordered these brand new thermometers and the Mil Spec s required up to 150˚ F. Back has a sticker “Made in China”. So if you know anyone who call use these please have them call OU812.

If this is a wrist-watch, imagine the size of the guys we’re fighting

The Captain said if it gets up to 130 we’re allowed to remove our long sleeve tops and work in our T-Shirts!

See? That C4 in the big bags won’t explode at 150 degrees, just like the Gunny said it wouldn’t.

So, morale is at an all-time high since we got rid of those crummy thermometers that topped out at 140… What our troops don’t know won’t hurt ‘em.
