Was called in today & was told I was to soon be assigned to a Combat Unit for overseas duty as a Sgt. Major of the unit. It should be formed within two weeks.

Slept until almost 10:00 today. Had a good nights rest for once. Ate breakfast and wrote some letters. After dinner went to the show and saw “By Hook or Crook”, walked back to the club, ate & had my pants pressed & taken up on the legs. At 8:00 walked up town and wound up at the Cambridge Hall at the dance. Had a very good time & had a hell of good time finding my way back in the black out. Had a snack & was in bed at midnite. It’s still foggy and rainy out.
