Saturday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
I can(n’t) understand it; another day passes and still no mail from you. I’ve had one letter from you that came on my preliminary notice of my address (AFCC). I have not received one direct with my complete address on it yet. Something is wrong somewhere as I have received mail from Emily in three days via regular mail. I have written faithfully and I know you must have received my address long ago. I have been here now a good week and one half. It is probably getting mixed up somewhere or else you have neglected me. I suppose the next few days will turn up a few letters but right now it has me puzzled. Do you blame me?
I am now seeing my first day of real rain in many a month. The rain is coming down hard and the unusual sight looks good to me even though the weather is miserable. It has been threatening rain for about a week and it has been hot and muggy. Now that the rain has come it is blowing up cold.
We have had a lazy afternoon as we were off. I spent practically the whole afternoon reading the “New Yorker” and relaxing around the barracks. It is the only feasible thing to do on a day like today. I imagine tomorrow will also be a day of rest as it is Sunday and only rarely do we do anything. There is not much for us to do now. We spend a lot of time taking calisthenics and drilling. Also after we receive our classification we are subjected to the bugaboo’s of the army. K.P. and guard duty. A lot of the boys got their classification today. I don’t expect mine to come through until Monday as my rechecks will delay mine. It’s all right by me as the longer I stay unclassified the longer I postponed those duties.
They have opened a new PX right near our squadron and we are now allowed to go over there. I stocked up on hangers this afternoon. I still have several things I want to get but I can take my time accumulating them.
Well I guess that’s it for today. Hope I hear from you soon but undoubtedly I will.
Love
Bob
