Afterwards, he was assigned to a translation bureau in Hawaii as an interpreter officer and was tasked with translating Japanese military documents into English. Some of the diaries were confiscated from dead soldiers, and he liked to translate them. He also accompanied the troops participating in the Battle of Attu Island, which was his first experience in combat.
