So they set up a, when you got a leave, put in for a leave, you had to show how much money you had before they let you out of camp. If you didn’t have enough money to go away for seven days well, they just took your pass away from you or cut it down for two days or.... That was the way they controlled that. It worked all right, I never lost any time.
