生活状況

In Seoul, we were assigned a room at the Mitsubishi Bldg. The room was bare with just a cot for sleeping. I believe we showered, but I'm not sure, as I can't remember if we went elsewhere to clean up. The meals were regular G.I, as we had to go to the central mess hall. In the evenings, I and several of my buddies went to visit a Japanese couple that had a restaurant in Seoul until they were sent back to Japan.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

I was young, so everywhere I went was a new experience for me. I can't single out any one experience or something that happened to me or something I did.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

I missed my parents, brother and sister. But, I also missed good ole' home cooked meals.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

I learned that everyone is different in nature, character, temperament, so you have to associate with them, accordingly. Also, I have learned from the army--hurry up and wait--so waiting in line for anything in civilian life didn't bother me.
