We went to mass again at 8:00 this morning & after mass we had to mop & clean up the barracks for inspection tomorrow. We had quite a beef and after dinner we had a lecture & they are going to start a demerit system. 5 demerits & you get CO punishment. The officers say we are too familiar with them & (illegible). From now on a old army routine starts. We went to a show on the post & to bed right after.

Went to mass this morning & the Chaplin is rather nice one. Gave an extra good sermon & to the point. Went back to the work of getting straightened out again. Visited Hy Wycomb & its a good town. Lots of whiskey to drink & beer. We seem to be the only GI’s around with wings.
