Up to find rain and a lowering sky.

Spent a part of morning in redding up my room.  Got an order from Lt. Depuy to have a bed made by the squadron carpenters.  They promise one by the afternoon  Did some shooting with pistol and rifle  MacArthur certainly is putting in a lot of time with the firearms.  He has been appointed range officer by the Major.  Hill is now busy as Intelligence Officer and Gunn is his assistant.  Bugs Raymond came floating in with several 147 Pilots this p.m.  Visited Neuf Chateau Bot hip boots.
