I just got out of the hospital after a week and a half and all I can do is watch TV. Today the boys loaded Band of Brothers for me and I enjoyed watching the whole thing. I have a question though, how did they keep up with pay, rank advancements, supplies, medicine etc. It must have been terrible relying a daily log by the CO to keep everything updated. Did all the officers and SNCOs also keep logs?

I remember a man who lived near us in Memphis when I was a kid who had fought in the Pacific. He told us that he got close to 2 and 1/2 years back pay when the war ended becasue they didn't know where he was. He was fighting in the Aleutians. Was this a common occurence?
