This place is getting worse and worse, and it isn’t bad yet, as the army goes. Now they’ve put in a time-clock system, which is the crowning glory. It is a fact also, (to which I hate to own up) that they even have an efficiency expert. The only encouraging thing is that it looks as though they are really making some effort to get through here. Of course it will only get worse. We’ll go from here to some camp and rot there for six weeks, before we embark. Then they’ll dilly-dally a month or two on the other side before discharging us. Gosh, I hate the army!
