Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Gee-ma-nent-ly, this place is a mad house. They won't even lef a feller sleep-in once a week. Son's ye get up it's fall-in, then physical torture and then drill an' parade all mornin'. They don't give a feller time to breathe. An'school all afternoon, well I'll say it's a mad-house, an' then on top o'alla that you have to do day on an' day off. Denn'dif I ain't goin' up an' ask the ol' man fer a transfer some o' these days"

"Gee, it's pretty soft when you can step out an' get your cold one whenever you want it. Whenever I think of them poor camels back home I have to pat myself on the back. My, I'll bet they sure envy me. I sure consider myself lucky by landin' in a place like this. 'Course duty is a little stiff right now, but I hear there's some more Marines comin' up on the next boat. Pekin ain't so bad afterall."
