Then there was a store somewhere in town that we could buy canned food along with canned heat that we would use in a corner of the barracks to heat and eat between times when we got hungry. We always tried to go over to the old Hotel for breakfast where a couple of Army men had opened up the kitchen and served Spam, eggs, coffee and biscuits for $2.00 a plate. Or maybe if we were lucky and happened to be in Dutch Harbor, the barracks there were nice, so you could take a nap, play cards, read or just plain wonder around and see what the rest of the gang was doing. Mostly if we weren't flying we would look for a passage way or compartment we could hide in as well as staying out of the Ships Crew as they performed their duties of running the Home we happened to be living on at the time.

It is raining heavily right now and that brings back many memories also of how to keep warm and dry under the circumstances.
