Still no news. The latest is that the captain is supposed to be trying to work it so that if we are not going this week the passes will be returned. I don’t know whether there’s any truth in it or not. They’re getting efficient around here. Today they’re going to try a fire drill. The call will be blown without warning, and we go through the motions of fire fighting. I’m undecided whether to join the bucket platoon or the hook and ladder bunch. Great doings.
Just heard the joyous news that tomorrow is a holiday for everyone at Ft. Wood, except the photographers and meteorologists.
