生活状況

Being assigned to Battalion Headquarters, I was given one of the cadre rooms in Company I. I had the privilege of using all their facilities, but not being under their jurisdiction, I was able to come and go as I pleased. As for meals, nothing outstanding, nothing too bad. For entertainment--movies and visiting buddies at the post.
