This time I got an individual test administrator and a private cubicle. I finished the tests as well as I could. After the ordeal I rejoined my original group for lunch. The Army careteria had all the rich atmosphere of a foxhole. The food was one grade below Central Kitchen's. The hot dogs and beans added a zesty tang to the ketchup.
