We got our overseas equipment issued to us today & I handed it out to the men. Our helmets, field bags, rifle belts, tent, gas mask, and carbine. They sure are a honey of a gun. I guess it won’t be long now. Mary and I & Rosemary & Ronnie went to the Soldiers dance over in Burbank. Had a pretty good time.

Worked all day today taking inventory of the Supply room. I am going to take over supply again. I finished up about 7:30 and wrote a letter home & then Gene & I went to have a few beers & went to the show. The show was good but something happened to the sound.
