生活状況

I lived in bunkers while on the MLR and slept on makeshift cots.
I used shower units when available and used the steel helmet most of the time.
While on the line I ate C Rations. When we went back to our artillery unit (in Reserve) I had hot meals, had cots in tents, and showers.
I had no entertainment.
