What part of "initial" don't you understand?

You are a fraud.

Next time know what you are talking about:

Every crewmember aboard a Swift is a volunteer. Inasmuch as the number of volunteers far exceeds the billets available, the job is apparently widely sought.

Such popularity must be deserved but it certainly can't be attributed to the easy life led by the crew. Swift bases are usually primitive tent installations where the rattle of small arms fire is well known.

While they are on patrol, Swift boats offer a rough ride-very much like the old PTs. They may remain at sea for three days and frequently can be found more than 100 miles from their home base somewhere along the 1000-odd miles of South Vietnamese coastline.

Living conditions aboard Swifts are spartan when you consider how long they remain on patrol. They do, nevertheless, have the essentials -bunks, a refrigerator, an electric stove and a head.
