Sauer :No, you could come back the next morning.
In other words, you just had to report for a muster the
next morning.
Except like if you went over on a Saturday, why, you
could come back Sunday night or either Monday morning.
In other words, in some cases you would get forty-eight-
hour passes?
Oh, yes, sure, a lot of them did.
Well, your routine, then, obviously differed for that of
the other battleships, and this is probably because you
never went out on maneuvers.
Well, it could be. There were a few of the battleships in
this latter period that probably went out on maneuvers
but we never did that I know of.
Now when you had liberty, what did you usually do?
When we had liberty?
When you had liberty, personally?
Well, I was married, and I didn't go ashore too often--just
once in awhile. I usually went in to see a picture show.
I had a friend of mine, and he'd like to go over there
and get drunk, and he wanted me there to bring him back
because I didn't drink (chuckle).
Now where was your wife at this time?
She was stateside, and she was just planning on coming
to Hawaii.
