Mr. Delgado. Our sergeant major.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember talking to the FBI agents about Sergeant Lusk?
Mr. Delgado. Right.
Mr. Liebeler. What did you tell them?
Mr. Delgado. I told them that in one instance Sergeant Lusk had the misfortune of waking us up in the morning. Nobody bothered waking us up, and the formation had gathered, and we were all sleeping away.
Mr. Liebeler. The men in your quonset hut?
Mr. Delgado. Right. And I'm the one in charge of them, and about 8 o'clock in the morning I hear the door open up, and I see this guy walking into my room. The first thing I wake up and see was the diamond, the stripes, and he says, "I want to see you men in the old man's office, in class A's." So I knew it was a bad step. We went up there, and he chewed us out for sleeping. And on the way back he said, "You're getting as bad as Oz."
But it wasn't our fault. It wasn't Oswald's fault. He slept away with the rest of us. It was too far for the CQ. And he just didn't feel like walking that far. So I told the agents that I was the only corporal on restriction at the same time.
Mr. Liebeler. They restricted your barracks for that?
Mr. Delgado. Right. Well, it's better to be restricted than to be court-martialed for it.
