Employed 6 part 8 Al's Fans

Some background on Al's: In 1941, the U.S. Army established a secret school at the Presidio of San Francisco to teach Japanese. Classes began on November 1, 1941, with four instructors and sixty stu-
dents in an abandoned airplane hangar at Crissy Field.
During WWII, it was named the Military Intelligence Service Language School,  (MISLS) and it grew dramatically. The Agency moved three times to accommodate growth before it was moved to it's present location at the Presidio of Monterey in 1946 and was re-named Army Language School. Going into and thru the Cold War there is more expansion and
more changes. By the early nineties, branches were added in other U.S. cities, including Washington D.C., and for a while there was a plan that would have moved the Monterey facility to D.C. Many Monterey citizens voiced their disapproval of that plan and managed to bring the matter to a vote.Something like 95% of the Facilities Board voted to keep Al's at the Presidio of Monterey
after they had heard from a large delegation of townspeople. At or near that time, the school's name was changed to Defense Language Institute. 

When l was a student there, l was one of 3000. Or so have l read. But, it seems
impossible:There aresix students in each of 6 classrooms. Thruout the sixmonth
course, the six students are the same six individuals. The six teachers are also
the same six individuals. Each of the six students will attend  all six hours of instruction, while each of the instructors will spend just one hour per day in each of the six classes  they teach. So, each day six instructors teach 36 stu-
dents. One instructor for each six students. At that rate you need 500 instruc-
tors for 3000 students. To me, the place didn't seem that busy.

Now, getting back to our first day at Al's and the visitors with whom we shared
lunch. Ah yes, Rita and Sandy! Up to that time (fully eighteen years old)l don't think l had ever seen one woman, as beautiful as both those ladies were. As
well as very articulate, funny, self-confident. l don't know what the term for that level of pulchritude was in that day but now they'd be called "trophy wives". lt
was their high contrast to the surroundings at Al's (including our uniformed soldier selves) that had me wondering what their game may be. At Devens,
those of us who would go to Monterey were told" it is a great place to be stationed: the bay, the forested hills, the warf,Carmel by the sea, and the people there love the people at Al's. Mostly, that is. Some people, for whatever
reason (maybe jealous of your situation or blames you for a loved one's loss to
one of US's wars or the only work they have is selling you a fine piece of blue sky. They're few and far between but it only takes one to totally ruin your day"

So we keep our thinking going even as we are almost bowled over by the act. l
wondered about Rita and Sandy because they were so far from ordinary and so
far out of my league,that their just being nice enough to hang out with us, like old friends, for an hour or so, was enough to make us wonder.

On the second day at school l told my new friend, and fellow classmate Bill about my lunch on Monday and he said he didn't believe it. When l told him l
expected Rita and Sandy to return in a day or so, he sort of  invited himself
to have lunch with us later in the week. Just for purposes of verification. He
actually was there Tuesday (better safe than sorry) but the girls weren't.When
Rita and Sandy did show,(Thursday) there were four guys at our table. Both
ladies seemed happy to see us all, they smiled,waved and drove past the grotto
directly to the barrack of the person  sought the day before. They smiled and
waved as they disappeared into the barrack. They had not reappeared when we returned to class
