Nishimoto discusses facing discrimination when in the South, taking leave in Mississippi and seeing all the segregation between white and colored. Next, he talks about his decision to join the Army, volunteering with friends, not even telling his parents until after he had joined. He would get on the SS Lurline and head to the mainland, seeing first the Golden Gate Bridge and then going through Salt Lake City before going south to Mississippi. Next, he discusses his time at Camp Shelby, getting a rank of sergeant and the influences throughout his life that prepared him for the Army.
