軍營生活
薩姆和傑克經常談論他們在軍隊裏的時光。那段生活很苦。清晨,他們必須早早地起牀,並要做很多體力勞動;他們必須學習如何使用槍,並且每天至少行軍十英里;那裏娛樂活動很少,他們不得不過着沒有電視或收音機的生活。唯一的.消遣方式是體育運動。
他們一個月僅收入40美元,因此也不用考慮把錢花在什麼地方。幸運的是,他們不必支付任何賬單,因爲軍隊爲其開支付費。而且不用自己做飯,軍隊也管飯。事實上,軍隊料理每一件事。軍人們從不用計劃每天該做什麼,因爲軍隊爲他們計劃好了。
開始他們的自由很少,但是六週以後,情況有所改善。他們不必時時刻刻呆在基地,週末可以外出和探訪女友——薩姆和傑克儘可能經常得到這樣的機會。因爲不願意被人指揮,傑克不喜歡軍營生活。但薩姆從不抱怨。他認爲在軍營中的生活是美好的一段經歷,而且人人都應該爲自己的國家服務。
