Friday
Hi Ann-
Well today we had a nice long talk about the Clap and Jeff and was it a honey.
Last night
we had the swimming test. 1st test swim 150 yards without stopping
and from it I got the runs. There they had us swim 100 yards then tread water
for 10 minutes and from this I had to go to the head (bathroom). Oh I vomited
up my guts as well as the good plums, peaches, etc. from mom’s box. However I
feel fine again by
This evening we must get the barrack spotless due to the important inspection tomorrow.
We had fish for lunch today and I sort of missed lunch but traded my fish for a nice piece of apricot pie.
I’m enclosing my first pay for you. We drew $5.00 but they immediately took back $3.00 for supplies and bluejack manuals.
Well we just had mail call and I got six letters. 2 from V., 1 from mom, 1 from Jack, 1 from DeLuca, and one from the father of the boy who I gave the bond to.
I’m very sorry that the dog is sick and hope she is well by the time you get this letter as I would sure miss her. Guess she misses the rough housing I give her.
I hope you connect with a job thru Joe Block as I think he will see you one in safe hands.
I’m sorry I could not send a longer note in the shoe but I only had a second to write that as we were in line when I wrote it. However I definitely love you as much as ever only a lot more baby.
Keep your
chin up – one of my weeks are past now. 6 to go.
Love You
Johnny
