The survey shows a wide range
in different courses. Average

7 months for those in service train
ing to 38, months for those study

act shows Diane faithfully and
confidently awaiting Chico’s re
turn. At the moment the armistice
is signed she gets what seems sure
proof that he is dead. But Chico
comes back and everything ends
happily.

his life time.
