Wednesday/title:Code Talker, chapter 18 On Bougainvill/pgs:120-134,min:21

Ned and his comrades had been force to take some pills that were huge and they tasted like mud that has been urinated on and the taste didn't come off for along time, it took hours s the awful taste would just to get some of the taste off, but they were for a good cause, it made the chance of having malaria small. Yes i don't know what malaria now. Ned had made a fun way to trick the sarge from them to not take the pill. All they did was that they put it in there mouth but when he left Ned would spit it out and through it behind the radio. But when the Sarge knew about this he made them drink a glass of water so it would wash down and then he would check, well that was the end of tricking the Sarge even though it was a lot of fun for them. When Ned was in training they would give him some supplies and they would give him some C-rations, that was some food in a can just in case a man got lost and was hungry. There was different types of rations, like D-rations that was a hard candy with sugar, chocolate and oats, there was also K-rations, they had a lot more in them some time even fruit drinks, toilet paper,peanuts, and chewing gum, they both had to be waterproof. There was more interesting things in the Japanese rations, like Japanese candies and stew and they had some writing in them but some through them away but some kept them as souvenirs. Later the Japanese knew that the Americans and Navajos were taking them away so they had some explosives on them so when some one picked up a knife or a rations some thing would blow up. When Ned found out he sent a message on the radio and then the Americans knew that the Navajos were easy to teach and that some were even better than them, so they had Navajos on every battalion and squad. Later on in the war like two days Ned received a note, it was from his parents back home, it said that they loved him and that they were praying that he wouldn't get hurt. Ned sent them some of his clothes so they could do that thing with the singer but there in his clothes he still is there. Ned was smiling at the P.S note in the bottom, it was from his little sister that she was asking him that when is she going to see him and that she wants to know all about his adventures.
