When we left the dormitory, we were all spiffy and clean in our dress white overseas uniforms. We'd been steaming 16 days from Long Beach to Honolulu where we outfitted and took on freight for the overseas command. The Ship's Captain was allowing 65% of the crew to have shore leave tonight, and the rest would get the day leave tomorrow.
The port was expecting us since there were going to be a constant stream of over four hundred ships passing through to resupply Viet Nam via sea lift. It was the mission of the ship to transport troops and supplies for amphibious assault of beaches.
So as we disembark everyone scatters to Pearl Harbor and the island of Oahu. Many caught a nickel snatcher from the base to points on a route for free transportation if in uniform to almost all of the island.
Six of us got off at the North Beach village and met our ex-pat dates in the, 'Surf Broad Bar and Cafe'.
The women were all from Britain, and were on various church missions as part of their faith. They were all pretty, all eighteen years old, High School 'AP' graduates, and having a wild, free, and permissive year. The women they had replaced gave them a tour of the island for day and night enjoyment. The four of them all agreed to a 'no tell' relationship. The house they leased was four bedrooms and five baths. The house had a pool, hot tub, sauna, weight room, work out room and an S and M dungeon that was padlocked when they first moved in. Now, it was not locked, (They had it opened.)
