Hello All,
I've another of those "back in the day" questions for any who
care to help.
There was a HUMRRO study done during the war which concluded
that combat soldiers often prefered an R & R buddy different from their
combat buddies. ( I can't argue the results, because I haven't seen
the study, only a reference to it.) However, it started me
wondering. In most of the memoirs I've read the authors who wrote about R
& R didn't seem to be going on leave at the same time as other of their unit
members, OR they often complain that R & R didn't come around as it was
supposed to.
So, I think my questions are: In your experience did R
& R work as it was supposed to? If you had the chance for R
& R, was it possible for you to *choose* who you would go with? Given
the chance would you have chosen your combat buddy as an R & R
companion?
Thanks for your help.
Janet
