July 24, 1942 - Back from Colonel Interview











Friday Morning

Dear Mom + Dad,

I have just come back from seeing the colonel. It really doesn’t mean anything as the important thing is the examining board which I go before next. I don’t know when I’ll hit them but it will be very soon now. I still have my hunch that I’m going to make it. I sure hope so as in the last week I’ve worked up a terrific enthusiasm about it. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what is going to happen.

I’ve been on the go so much lately that I haven’t had the time to do anything at all. I know my letters have been terrible as they’ve been written in between duties, examinations, seeing colonels, sergeants, etc. so please forgive me.

I finally got myself out of my K.P. duties. I talked to the first sergeant into letting me go so I’m a free mean again for awhile until they stick something else on me. Oh well I can take it, I hope.

I haven’t got much more to tell you as I wrote last night and it is early in the morning now. I have neglected my correspondence too. To illustrate what I mean I was just interrupted to clean out the tent. This paper is sure messy as you sweat so much and ruin it. I sure have a tough time. That’s all for now

Love
Bob
