       When you waited in line, you had plenty of time to visit with
       folks from all kinds of units, swap "war stories" and hear that
       there are units who live worse than we do!

             Today we have the showers set up again and, glory of
       glories, we receive our first hot shower in 18 days! This is a
       real morale booster, and we relax and enjoy visits from
       surrounding units. R and R, Kuwaiti style.

             The Division Surgeon of the lst Armored Division, LTC
       Fitzharris, comes to the unit today and presents us with a plaque
       and expresses the appreciation of the entire division for the fine
       support they received from the unit. As if this is not enough
       excitement for one day, we receive two five-ton truckloads of
       mail. The volume of packages and letters is so great that it
       takes 2 and 1/2 hours to distribute it all. Someone jokes that we
       must be getting ready to move, as in the past receipt of boxes has
       always been linked, inexplicably, with this activity. We soon
       would see how accurate this statement was!
