Diamond informs Estelle that he won't be granted a furlough in his company. He also states that out of the six men accepted by the board, only three will actually get to O.C.S; the rest will be shipped overseas. Sidney then outlines his day - an extended order drill in the morning, and then a four-hour long bayonet drill. Diamond tells Estelle that he probably will not be shipped until the end of the week.
