Finding The 4077th

Crisis

Chris was working on his school work, as Henry started talking he moved to Radar's office, He needed to wait till the meeting was over or till Radar was dismissed from the meeting because he wanted to ask his friend to help him with his biology schoolwork, Chris didn't understand all the words and he always had fun asking Radar to help, because they sometimes ended up looking words up together in the dictionary, Radar didn't always know the very big words either, and even though his dad did, especially with biology, doing it with Radar is way more fun! And Radar liked it as well, he told Chris so! Radar knew a lot and had a fun way of explaining it, especially if it was about animals and such. He just needed to be patient right now.

Henry says each officer is assigned a specific area where they are in charge and enforce strict rules.

Radar is in charge of the housing arraignments because of the cold, they needed to sleep together, to preserve the heat.

“Radar decides who sleeps with who,” Henry explained.

“Radar, I would like to see you right after this meeting.” Trapper said, making the clerk a bit uncomfortable.

Father Mulcahy gets stuck with improving morale, but the priest didn't seem to mind one bit as he immediately started to organize a bingo game for later in the day.

The priest asked Chris to help him and the child agreed with a lot of eagerness. But asked if it was okay if he did his homework with Radar first, the priest thought that was a very good idea and agreed to meet with Chris for over an hour.

Chris finished his work way faster than an hour and that made him glad, he was having the best day so far.
The child ran to the Swamp; he only needed to ask his dad about helping the priest. He showed his dad his schoolwork and Hawkeye seemed very happy with that, he said Chris did a great job. His dad also agreed that Chris could help The Priest, he thought it was a nice idea for Francis to include Chris, his boy loved to decorate, and it saved the priest a lot of time and work.

After his dad's okay, Chris ran towards Francis in his tent and knocked eagerly.

Francis let him inside with a big gentle smile and explained they needed some decorations to hang around the mess hall, so they collected some stuff and went to work.

This was a win-win situation for the child as this would also count as a chore! So he could have fun and finish his shore at the same time!

Chris got some old popcorn, to make strings to hang around the hall, and with toilet paper, he made little flags. After an hour or so, he proudly showed the priest his work. Francis was very happy with Chris's help and loved what he did. So Chris felt great, he felt helpful and he loved helping the people he liked.

They took all their newly made decorations and moved everything to the mess hall and together, they hung the strings around the mess hall and got all the equipment ready.

Looking at the result, Chris was very proud, it looked so happy and nice! He asked Francis if he could stay and play bingo and of course, the man said that was alright and even got him two bingo sheets and some coffee beans to mark the numbers.

Chris was happily playing bingo for a while, he sat on a bench swinging his legs back and forth as he looked with full concentration at his bingo sheets. He almost had bingo! He never had bingo before! The next number was called, and Chris noticed he didn't have that one but Klinger next to him yelled he had bingo.

Chris sighed, he was so close! He was a bit disappointed at first but got startled as Frank strode in.

Frank looked around the hall and saw the coffee beans. The man's lip disappeared into a thin line before he started screaming about the coffee beans; he, as the food administrator, did not approve of food being thrown away!
