“Hi, Dan Cory,” I said as I extended my hand. Taking my hand, he said, “Hi, Bob Atwell. Dan, you’re assigned to the fourth bunk on the right side. Footlocker is in front of your bunk and the wall locker is behind along the wall. Your blankets and sheets are on the bed, so you might start making it up. Once everyone gets in, I’ll be giving a quick briefing here on the first floor.” “Okay,” I said, moving down to my assigned bunk and making the bed. Once everyone was in the building, Bob called those assigned upstairs and asked them to come downstairs for a briefing.”
