Nile Kinnick diary of service in the U.S. Naval Reserve Air Corps, December 3, 1941-February 25, 1942

Sunday, Dec. 13.
Followed our regular weekday routine. Hard to realize that it was Sunday - no extra sleep in the morning, no paper, no time for church. Will plan to attend Sunday evening services from now on if it can be worked out.
Had a date with Katie Smith last night. Fairly enjoyable evening considering it was a ten oclock night.
Monday, Dec. 14.
Followed regular routine. Classes are in the morning this week for our wing, and flying in the p.m.
This base is taking on a more military aspect each day. The colonel has decreed that there shall be a student watch from 1600 till 800 - which is from 4 PM till 8 AM. The students are to alternate two hour watches throughout the night. He must pace the barracks from one end to the other, both below and topside. Our weekday liberties have been cut to every other night, and ten oclock seems to be the curfew even on weekends now.
