NOTES:
1.  WELL DONE TO RICH
        The following message from CINCPACFLT is quoted below:
    "YOUR SHARP SHOOTING, IN SUPPORT OF THE 24TH AND 26TH POPULAR
    FORCE PLATOONS NEAR MY LAI ON THE NIGHT OF 27 NOVEMBER IS
    NOTED WITH PLEASURE.
    YOU HAVE MY ADMIRATION FOR YOUR OBVIOUSLY HIGH DEGREE OF TRAINING
    AND PROFESSIONELISM.  WELL DONE.  ADMIRAL B.A. CLAREY USN,
    COMMANDER IN CHIEF U.S. PACIFIC FLEET"

2.  RE- ARM TODAY
        The ship expects to replenish ammunition sometime today.  It
won't be as big a job as the last time, but it will take all hands.
in order to do the job properly and quickly.
        Everyone pitch in, do their part, and get the job finished.

3.  STATE INCOME TAXES
        Members of the Armed Forces, like all U.S. citizens, are
subject to state income taxes unless the state laws specifically exempt them
from all or part of the tax liabilities while in the service.  Failure
to pay taxes in the state in which you have a domicile or legal
residence can result in a fine and or imprisonment.

        Your situation is unique in that a serviceman can, by meeting
certain state requirements, use any one state as a domicile.  However,
once established a legal residence or domicile continues even if you
live elsewhere legally changed.  The standard rule for setting up a
new legal residence is physical presence, abandonment of the old domicile
and intent to stay in the new domicile, all being met concurrently.

        Remember, you have a right to pay taxes in one state alone.
