I was never at Monmoth. I was stationed at Knox, Rucker & Greely.

The best part was that we had no notes or homework to study and I
could spend weekends exploring NYC. The USO had a small number of free
tickets for GIs. Rock concert and sports tickets went fast, but not
Broadway shows. Sadly I didn't bother to see two shows I would later
work on and enjoy, 1776 and Jacques Brel.

John Adams:
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a
disgrace; that two are called a law firm, and that three or more
become a Congress!"

At that time Canal Street was electronic surplus heaven. Greenwich
Village had faded and was disappointing.
