On an APA (troop ship) skirting the end of a typhoon over half the Marines were seasick. I wasn't allowed on deck but I could stand at an open hatch and watch the heaving seas. Some Marines just have to step aboard a ship at the dock and start feeling seasick. After breakfast a number of them were hanging over the rail up-chucking their beans and hard boiled eggs. The sailors would walk by and sign this little diddy" "My body lies over railing, My body hangs over the sea. Come up, come up, come up my breakfast to me." When I building time for my commercial rating I once mentioned I never got seasick or airsick. My instructor bet me a bottle of Jack Daniels he could make me airsick. We climbed into the Citabria and he turned it every which way but inside out. I walked away with that bottle of Jack Daniels. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

When I was a young Royal Marine our company had a short deployment to Hong Kong. Most of the bodies went by VC10 but my troop accompanied the RM band in a Hercules (what the RAF called the C130) and we went the long way round via Brindisi, Amman, Bahrain, etc so the band could perform at each stop. Oh boy! The RAF crew obviously enjoyed the effect of the aircraft on their passengers as we bounced around the sky at an altitude where we enjoyed maximum turbulence. Gradually the number of band members fit to perform at each stopover became less and less as the effects of motion sickness and dehydration took hold and as an added bonus, even though we were issued with ear defenders, at the end of each leg we emerged from the aircraft TALKING LIKE THIS!😆 I seem to recall the crisis came on arrival at Brunei where the band were due to play for the Sultan but the heat and humidity meant three or four of them had to be removed from the Herc on stretchers...
