Is that big building for us?

Food in the field k rations is healthy we understand but taste-wise it doesn't come close to Mom's food. We eat daily, but what we're really absorbed in is, just what is that large framed building going to be used for here? "Oh, that is to be Admiral Chester Nimitz's headquarters. He has been named Pacific Fleet Commander of the Southwest, and that includes all areas that General MacArthur doesn't command. He is being set up on Guam and our duty is to send, receive and give him instant messaging relating to his new command. " And what is that other good sized building for? "Oh, that's to house the Red Cross. Why? Because that will be a place for officers to sit back and relax in." Oh, I see, I think. We are finally told that a few of us have been chosen for a special detail and I'm one. We move to another safe location where we re-set up the tents and I promptly get Dengue Fever! Yep, it hurt my back; I had a fever; got lots of liquids and then I seemed to recover pretty fast. I went to our new base camp about a day or two after the others got there. There were about eight of us. We found we were all, Navy, Marines and a hut right near our tent, inhabited by Chamorros, being guarded 24-7 by Marines, with modern BAR (Browning Automatic Repeat) rifles and hand grenades. At Agana we had been issued carbine repeating rifles, ammunition, plus belts to carry it; and instructions on cleaning and taking care of our pieces. I loved my carbine and I felt confident in the event I had to use it. We were all given instruction regarding hand grenades, but not issued any.
