And then after that, I'll have the opportunity to go to at least about 10 or 13 different locations for a training hospital, again, on one of the Army bases within the United States to do a two-year clinical internship.
Taylor HenryHOST

Ashley JaneNARRATOR
Fort Sam Houston is the headquarters of the Department of Texas, and all the staff officers live there in comfortable stone houses with broad lawns shaded by chinaberry trees.
Ashley JaneNARRATOR
Then at the top of the hill is a great quadrangle with a clock tower and all the department offices.
Ashley JaneNARRATOR
On the other side of this quadrangle is the post where the line officers live.

A military court at Fort Sam Houston found him guilty of espionage and sentenced him to death by hanging.

Incidentally, while they were building the golf course by the sixth green, they made a bit of a discovery, and that was a wolf's den.
Ken WiseHOST
an actual wolf den, not a bunker called the Wolf Den or anything like that.
