Worked in dispensary this A.M. at sick call. In the afternoon walked over to H.P.D. and U.S.A.F.F.E and carried back some office supplies. Followed water pipe line back. Got news after supper that we were leaving at 10:00 A.M. tomorrow. Wild time getting packed. Officers allowed one foot locker or two suitcases. Enlisted men one barracks bag. Had caribou [carabao] for breakfast with pancakes; soup and biscuits for lunch, and rice and biscuits with olives for supper. Everybody rather happy at prospect of moving.
