Ref #1784
This is about the 115th CIC at Presidio of San Francisco in 1955-56 (6th Army HQ).
Both agents and clerical staff (like me) in the unit received rations and quarters allowances, since the unit had no assigned quarters. The agents wore civvies (including hats) but other personnel wore uniforms – 6th Army patches, U. S. and Great Seal brass. All uniformed personnel (not just CIC) at Presidio wore ODs year-round because of San Francisco’s peculiar climate.
You were on your own to find a place to live. I lived in a boarding house for about six months, an apartment with a buddy for six, and a furnished flat with three buddies another six. The flat was seven rooms and a garage for $125 a month – $30 apiece, $35 for the one who used the garage.
