Of course other activities weren't neglected. We had a swimming pool, riding horses, a bowling alley, a badminton court, and some ping pong tables. Also, we took trips to famous places like, Innsbruck, Berchtesgaden, and the lakes in the bavarian Alps. Within the battery, we organized three I and E courses. We had classes in photography, German and basic electricity. A few of the other men took advantage of some of the technical courses given at the 9th Air Defense Command Headquarters.
C Battery had a well organized and modern program of recreation and education for the men in the battery.
