Harry and Castonk are well aware of their situation. They have graduated from high school during WWII. With the draft looming over them, they decided to take some welding classes at the local vocational school. These classes saved them. They picked up welder first class positions at a local shipyard, and were deferred from enlistment for a year. The year is flying by. With the allies taking a pounding around the globe, their expectation of another deferment is slight. They are living life one day at time, trying to get as much excitement in as they can.

Walt has arrived home on leave after training as a B-17 gunner. Walt connects with his friends Harry and Castonk, and the wild times start. Walt only has a few days before he has to report back for duty. While the friendship between these three characters is tenuous, they realize that their numbers could come up at anytime. This sense of impending doom creates a bond between these friends that cannot be broken by any circumstance.

The setting for Some Things Never Change is Superior, Wisconsin during the dead of winter. The cold, snow and gloom wear on Harry, Castonk and Walt, but this does not keep them from their exploits. If anything their surroundings intensify how they feel about life. They start out with reckless abandon, only to find out what really matters.
