The narration blends sensory detail from drill sounds, carts, leather slings, and shouting noncoms with the character’s conflicting feelings of belonging, heritage, and renunciation.

He was feeling a half-sheepish affection for his vantage point that he was leaving.  \nBelow him under the blows of the February Hawaiian sun the quadrangle gasped defenselessly, like an exhausted fighter. Through the heat haze and the thin mid-morning film of the parched red dust came up amuted orchestra of sounds: the clankings of steel-wheeled carts bouncing over brick, the slappings of oiled leather slingstraps, the shuffling beat of scorched shoesoles, the hoarse expletives of irritated noncoms.  \nSomewhere along the line, he thought, these things have become your heritage. You are multiplied by each sound that you hear. And you cannot deny them, without denying with them the purpose of your own existence. Yet now, he told himself, you are denying them, by renouncing the place that they have given you.  \nIn the earthen square in the center of the quad a machine gun company went listlessly through the motions of its Loading Drill.  \nBehind him in the high-ceiling squadroom was the muffled curtain of sound that comes from men just waking and beginning to move around, testing cautiously the flooring of this world they had last night forsaken. He listened to it, hearing also the footsteps coming up behind him, but thinking of how good a thing it had been to sleep late every morning as a member of this Bugle Corps and wake up to the sounds of the line companies already outside at drill.  \n“You didnt pack my garrison shoes?” he asked the footsteps.“I meant to tell you. They scuff so easy.”  \n“They’re on the bed, both pair,” the voice behind him said.“With the clean uniforms from your wall locker you didnt want to get mussed up.
