January 30, 1944
Today started with church at 7 bells - "you never saw a place so jammed in all your life. The middle aisle was completely jammed. The alter itself was packed with men and small rooms on both sides of the alter were packed". Afterwards he went out to drill, which he did OK. He and his buddy Lou Harwick just finished the 2 plain Nestles bars he brought with him. They've been smoking quite a bit - cigarettes are a soldiers best friend teh the carton of Camels he brought have been a Godsend. He saw his record of his transfer and it looks like he should get into the Air Corps, but he's not completely sure. The day ended with seeing a stage show through the Recreation Hall window - it seems that in order to get in you have to line up 2 hours before the showtime if you want to actually get in...
