They gave you a carton of smokes so after about 3 or 4 days I asked if we could have a smoke break sgt Jackson said all of you that smoke grab your smokes and matches an stand at parade rest around the cement wash tables. Hold your cigarette between your fingers and hold your arm out in front of you he would come around and break your cigarette an say now you have had your smoke break back up stairs
