Thursday Eve.
Dear Mom + Dad,
Another day another letter. I had a half day off from my regular duties of star K.P. today. I don’t have to go back to work until tomorrow noon. I may get out of it by that time if I can talk the sergeant out of it and don’t think I won’t try. I have it rather easy though as I managed to fall into the easy kitchen and I can loaf a lot. Even with that it isn’t a pleasant job and I don’t like it. Well maybe tomorrow will bring a change of fortune.
I went swimming this afternoon in a private pool just outside of Indio. Someone has a winter home there and the soldiers are allowed to use the pool now. It is one swell place. I picked grapefruit from the trees and ate then and were they good. The oranges and dates weren’t ripe yet so I didn’t have any of them. It was a very nice relief to get away from camp to something I enjoyed.
I have an interview tomorrow with the colonel concerning O.C.S. My application is in and the next step will be to go before the examining board. If I pass that I’m in and off to Florida. I still think I can do it so keep praying for me. I’ll keep you informed of all that happens as soon as I can.
I’ll write again tomorrow after I see the colonel.
Love
Bob
