Monopoly money. 10 cents would buy a good shoe shine then. I once splurged and spent $1.50 on a deluxe haircut at the Tachi west BX. It included a shampoo and a face mudpack by a hardworking Jo-san. $5.00 a month meant never to get KP and never to clean the barracks or shine the shoes under the bed. I had just turned 18 years old and this was the best adventure of my life. Cheers Rodger
