what the idealist would call the perfect soldier, but he'd played the game, played it hard and fair, taken his punishment like a man, when need be, given everybody a square deal and expected the same in return.
 He'd joined the squadron back in AZ, and from that time on had accepted its lot as his own. Once, back in the early days of his enlistment, he was AWOL for ten days. His case was investigat- ed, however, and the charges were dropped when it was discovered he had become impatient at not getting an active assignment, and had, with the best intentions, at- tempted to join the navy. AS a matter of fact, the navy accepted him, but of course his release was immediately granted when = the situation became known.
 Tn many respects he was typi- cally CT: He'd been awarded the Asiatic-Pacific Service Ribbon, which he rarely wore, and the Bronze Star for combat service; had qualified on the firing range as marksman. Failure to rate a good conduct medal is thought to have made him rather morose in recent months, but this is purely hearsay. His size and weight were unusual qualities readily noted. He stood about two and half feet high and weighed almost 50 pounds-a little below normal, even in the Aleutians. His age was estimated at all the way from 30 months to 30 years. In the army
