July 21, 1945

21- _____ We spent all this time in port _ every Sat we had inspection _ recreation every day _ port one day _ starboard the next, all together about 260 men rated recreation each day.

"to the 9t of Aug" (written in the margin)

I think Joe got bored with posting the same thing every day and abandoned his journal for a few weeks. He almost definitely wrote this entry when he decided to take up his journal again, on August 10 (I'll repeat it on Aug 9). He actually wrote "159 days" at the end of it, but since that would have occurred on August 5, I'll save it for then.

For the next 19 days, I'll post more photos from the Mobile, the Phillippines, and from other events around the Pacific in 1945.

July 21 was a Saturday, so here's a photo of inspection.
