Sunday Afternoon
Dear Mom + Dad,
Today has been a rather peaceful day as it is our day of rest. At least they are leaving us alone. I’ve been trying to catch up on my correspondence a little and get off letters to all my friends. I sent out cards with my address but I’m trying to add a little more personal touch. I know a postcard burns me up as it contains very little so I try to do better. I haven’t had the time to do much else up to now.
Tomorrow morning at a quarter of eight I take my physical. I think that I will be messing around a few days taking it. This is the one that worries me because of my eyes. I know that if I get through this one I’ll make it. This is the rough one and the one I flunked before in civilian life. I’m afraid of my eyes and this is one that will bring that out. So keep those fingers cross again for me.
The part that bothers me most is not being able to go to the Px and get stuff. I did manage to get cigarettes and stuff I needed via one of the boys that can go. But I miss running over for a coke or a bar of candy and things like that. Oh well I guess I can stand it. This is the first place I saw where you can’t go to the Px when you’re on restriction.
I’m afraid to get a haircut here as they give you what they call a Kelly Field clip. It is nothing more than a G.I, Hitler, crew, or whatever you want to call it. I just got my hair back from the last one and if I mess up here I don’t want it. If I have to go to Pre Flight I have to have it, but unless I make it I want to keep my hair intact.
I’m sending 2 negatives that I want developed. One is a friend of mine who is now in England. The other is me. If they are any good have a few of me made and ship them to me.
By the way will you send your phone number. I lost it in the shuffle somewhere. I’d like to have it in case of emergency.
I guess that’s all for now. I’ll write tomorrow.
Love
Bob
