Kerouac's unusual activity

The fine folks at TSG have posted Jack Kerouac's Navy file from 1943, which details his honorable discharge for psychiatric reasons.

Without any particular training or back ground, this patient, just prior to his enlistment, enthusiastically embarked upon the writing of novels. He sees nothing unusual about this activity. Physical and neurological examinations are negative and mental examination reveals no gross evidence of psychosis.
