(1) Upon completion of the voyage we reported to the Armed Guard Center in Brooklyn and were then given two weeks leave to go home and return to the Center for the next assignment.
(2) Did not experience.
(3) While at the Center there was some training like fire and boat drills, films, physical training, etc. We also stood watches, but mostly it was very relaxed and liberty was freely given. After being back at the Center a bit over two weeks, I got reassigned into Aircraft Mechanics School at NAS Norfolk. That ended my career in the Armed Guard.
