ference. It brings everything a bit closer to us. Perhaps I did not explain clearly just what "active service at one" means. It is just that we are immediately assigned to regiments with troops directly under us. We have absolutely no information concerning the stations to which we'll be assigned, and we won't know until our commissions and assignments arrive. We always have rumors. One is that we will be with the 36", 40", and 41" Infantry Regiments here at Fort Snelling. Other possible stations are scattered between Maine and Texas and Samoa and Alaska. France hardly seems more probable immediately than any of the others. We expect to know in a week.
