Retrained as a Radio Operator

I became interested in wireless operator, you see, radio operator. So I was sent back to Japan briefly for basic training and radio operator and I became infantry radio operator over there. So when it comes to patrols, or fighting patrols really, anything like that, always me. You will come with us. You will become our radio operator. I must have been good at my work because I never, no one ever complained. I was always picked to be with certain company, with so and so, I went like that all through my career [inaudible] to that. I went to an awful lot of fighting patrols and I can tell you I was never really scared when things starting to happen until after. After everything, I get back to my crawl trench and I start to shake, sweat and stuff like that, you know, but I was safe.
