He serves in General MacArthur's Luzon campaign in the Philippines as a clerk, a wire lineman, and several other positions, and in April volunteers to be a rifleman in a reconnaissance platoon, where he experiences combat, a few firefights and skirmishes. After the war ends he becomes a cook in occupied Japan.
