I remember being sworn-in but I don't remember if they sent me home after that or what happened to me after that accept, but I went to Camp Upton pictures of very famous camp during the first world war Factory Irving Berlin wrote his famous song. You've got to get up you got to go.

01:22 If you remember that when you're here and when he made when he wrote that tight and it was at Camp often that it was done. That's where that you think we went when we are ducted. We haven't got our uniforms then I remember I was that way out in Long Island, but everything is so secret because wartime and I thought it was out in Long Island. And from there. We were shipped to basic training in Atlantic City, New Jersey and they're there for two months or so. And from there. I was shipped to Sioux Falls South Dakota to begin. My training is a radio operator mechanic and worked there for four or five months in that Harbor place called, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Then it was like the ceiling of the same the Conqueror the same but I don't remember being as commercial as it is now question probably and I don't remember being at large for The Concourse was large with most is stations. Most of the stations are all better off this at the main terminal 2 that I have a guys there or do I would say this could have been 500 guys that it was a big mess of Walla. Walla commuters were all going to the business. So I don't member at the community being around that time.

I remember distinctly because they sent me down to get coffee and stuff at 11:12 in the morning. And that's just when Pearl Harbor and I came back and told him about Pearl Harbour. I see you've heard about it first. I heard about it first in this Cafeteria on the corner of 57th and 6th and I had gone to when I went back and told the guys working in this place Henry George and we will talk about it on the radio and cafeteria or the radio. In fact, it happened later is 12:00 or 12:30. The Giant game was being played football game football game and is in the news went on about the severity of his attack. They made an announcement at the boat at the Polo Grounds where they played for the New York football Giants are playing that alarm service manual.

15:53 Work back to their units immediately. I remember that is clear as a bell.

15:58 And if they did which I guess they did and we would talk about it would became big big news. You know, I just kept going and it was a very a very exciting day and you don't we all knew that you went back to the moon and back to Vacaville grooming bag of this place to room. We work in the warehouse room. We're going to 7th Floor. We were measuring good that we were going to run a trailer know the odds and ends at milgram's fancy interior of the time on 57th Street and

17:41 Then I went down to work the England. I worked out of London as a control tower operator has for my voice is arrest me use my voice so much. Anyway, here's an interesting. Of time of my life for years. I've been in the Army do I didn't see too much action as I guess. I'm happy about. Yeah, me too, but I came back home. And of course, I started my candy store from orbit about this when you were in London with with any bomb with a livery bombs. No, no, that would be bombs that were but I never had heard one. I never said I don't think I ever saw one when I show the results of them, but I don't remember them coming at that time cuz I went to it London it was later and I don't think the Germans were Pitbull anymore because we had done the invasion.

18:32 He didn't have to do that yesterday.

18:38 I went to London must have been oh gosh close to 45 after the Battle of the Bulge. I know what might have been even later in 45 like the boulders in in December 44. I went missing in London, July 45 if it were that almost after the war in July 45, I think it was around then that I got that I was stationed in which was good for me, you know is Novi bombs in my life and that that was good. So I had a good stay overseas. You know, I was just I was kind of lucky. I was kind of lucky there and back after the ships there and back yet. If you ask me right now will come back but but yes, but I don't remember right now the trip over was interesting caseras.

19:34 New Hanover nun

19:48 Yes, whenever end of 43 Got7 members winter time or is cold and we had eight men to every bunk. It was a SS Crystal. It was a South American cruise ship that they converted into a troop ship with a 8 month baby bump. What do you make men to a bunk mean? I mean you had it meant every bit and a bun for piled I think for hire 506 I if I got now so there was a lot of guys in this big room and you had the bed. I think only three or four hours a day was eight men will go only 3 hours a day. So maybe there's only six men now could be I got Mormon maybe Foreman we had a 6 hours a day. So you had 6 hours to sleep, you know, if I don't like that and then not worth while I can't discuss it so bad.

20:39 Because the ship was kind of Rocky was a it was a it was winter time in North Atlantic right? There was a South American cruise ship right devoid of any kind of balancing or whatever they use to keep her even-keeled is a horrible trip over land in England in Swansea Wales. I landed and took a train to stornoway just come there then I remember spending even a couple of days and Weld and it was interesting to go to Scotland by train my first time overseas of go ahead. Yeah. I was only a few of us.

21:17 Two other men, so why don't you and what else have their own assignments? Yes, just time for me. Before. I was put up into this thing. It was more of an air traffic control system up in stornoway within a week all about that control cars that control what they call it though, because it Airways Communication System what happened? We had troop movements at your moments plane movements coming over from America flying the North Atlantic route, which consisted of Goose Bay Labrador and Iceland tours.

21:54 Make it through the night and then green green land was Bowie West Green in first in Iceland and then down to us. We were still on the way they flew over. It didn't even lay in their on their way to Glasgow Prestwick airport with a big beaches airport where they want to be 17 flights landed that went down to the Air Force bases in Southern England to do the bombing runs over Germany and France Riders thing. So like what we like living in the stone away from that was great. That was interesting Chris Arizona unit 27 g i z on his British base and it was far from the war one time. I Had a Brain Stew experience house in a control tower on and on a plane was flying over came over head and I couldn't see any kind of mocking John and I can without a plane doing up there and I called the major on the intercom.

22:43 And I should deserve the time. And identify the aircraft flying close to to the tower, you know, because big blue slow at that time he's able to give it a give it a light then I'll give it a green light. So I kept calling you a trip that there's no answer. I took my gun, but they correlate.

23:01 A lamp for the green light in the red light for landing trajano and I kept shooting the green light on it. No respond to flew around came back again play again at us. I took out my flare gun and shot a flare in the air green flare giving you permission to land. They let you know planes landing then he came by to third time very low and honest Wings was plastic is it was a German plane, you know, he's a lost or kidding around or we're just down from Norway or somewhere. Well, of course with the biggest joke on the air-con on the base for quite a while. Anyway, she attacked him or no one ever good. I mean only have the flare gun.
