Tuesday Aft.
Dear Mom + Dad,
I wrote you a letter this morning telling you how disgusted I was because my application hadn’t gone through and my friends had. Discount all that now as I was called just about one half hour before the exam. I’m sending this air mail so it will come in first so you won’t have to worry about that letter now.
I completed my final step today in appearing before the board. There were only two men on it and it wasn’t very hard. They asked a lot of questions on current events, what I had done before, different parts of the army. All in all a general quiz. It is one of those propositions where you can make no definite statement as to how you did. It is very similar to an interview by a school principle. You can only get an inkling of what they think. I think I made out all right but I can’t be sure. At least I hope so anyway. I guess I’ll know very soon whether I made the grade or not. Keep praying for me.
You don’t need to worry anymore about letters of recommendations as it is all over now except the results. I’m going to feel awful blue if I don’t make it.
I never gave this thing a thought until I was home and then I guess it snapped me out of the rut I had been in. Now I can’t see anything but officers school and if I don’t make it I’ll be terribly disappointed. I guess you can understand that.
Well if luck is with me I’ll be taking off for Florida soon. I can’t be sure that I’m in on this month’s quota but I think so. Then too this giving me a belated exam speaks well too because there must be opening or else they wouldn’t have called us in. All in all it looks very favorable but as I said before you never can be sure.
It is funny how you can change you attitude this morning I was down in the dumps and this afternoon I’m all enthused.
I guess that is all for now. If anything comes up I’ll let you know right away.
Love
Bob
