生活状況

During basic training, we lived in barracks and in field for training. Most of our meals were in the company mess. We had regular barracks with kitchen and showers.

Overseas, we used shelter if not in combat, on the line, we dug slit trench when we were able or stayed in buildings when available. But, we were outside most of the time, rain or shine. We survived mostly on K or C Rations.
