We only have a short kike of 8 miles today and will start at 9:30am. Here we are and it is in a race track where we are camped. We arrived here before chow and will spend the rest of the afternoon bucking up our equipment for the parade tomorrow. I feel pretty good but my feet hurt. There are four of us that made the hike from headquarters platoon and none of his had fell out yet. I played fast ball for a while, then washed my feet and went to bed.
