News at Eleven: Infantrymen sleep when and where they can.

There's no such thing as a full night's sleep, [Suzanne] Steele found. Hers was interrupted every time a tentmate went out or came back from patrol. Once at 1 a.m., she was awakened and told "Get dressed. Sergeant wants to see you." She then spent 90 minutes in a LAV turret learning what night watch involves.

Steele is thought to be the first poet accepted in the artists program, whose roots reach back to the First World War.
