I was thinking about Uncle Tommy Travels Time

 My father graduated High School in 1934 and joined the Marine Corps Reserve then with his brother so they could be gunners in Hellcat biplanes in the Marine corps reserves on weekends. They did this from 1934 to 1937 so they had finished their military service before world War II began. My father got married when he was 21 to a 17 year old girl he met while working on Grand Coulee Dam in Washington on the Columbia River along with both his brothers Bob and Tommy. Bob was his older brother and Tommy was his younger brother. They all drove dump trucks moving rocks and earth to build the dam then. So, Bob and Dad were over with being in the Marin Corps Reserve in Seattle by 1937 and likely in 1937 Dad turned 22 which means he married his first wife while at the Grand Coulee Dam working with his brothers there. So, Uncle Tommy Travels Time took place while he was in the Marine Corps Reserve from 1934 to 1937.

By 1939 my father and his younger brother Tommy and his young wife chartered a Yacht out of Vancouver Canada called I think the Lorna D or something like that. They sailed down the coast as far as Catalina Island off of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Then they sailed for 40 days not seeing land until they reached Tahiti and the Tuomoto Archipeligo. They stayed there and rented a place (with all the bananas they could eat for a year or more in a place they rented for two dollars and 50 cents a month while they dived with goggles (I'm not sure masks had been invented yet) and were spear fishing there too for some of their food underwater.

When they began to see the rumblings of war coming they took a steamship that came by Tahiti once a month or so and went to Honolulu where Dad's first wife got a job at the main newspaper then in Honolulu. 

Dad and his brother Tommy took another Steamship back to Seattle Washington where their father owned an Electrical Business. 

Then Pearl Harbor happened and Dad's first wife got terrified and scared and took a steamship to Seattle to be safe from World war II that just began in the Pacific Ocean area.

Then Dad and his older brother Bob were hired as Electricians building Liberty cargo ships to ship weapons of war to the Pacific Theater of the war. So, they were needed building ships to carry planes and tanks and cannons and such to the war in the Pacific Ocean by the Liberty cargo ships they helped build during World War II.
