November 24, 1942 – Another Uneventful Day


Tuesday Evening

Dear Mom + Dad,

Another uneventful day draws to a close. Routine is getting very much the same now. That is the way things get in the army after awhile. I don’t really mind though as I’m marking time now for something I want to do. At least I have something to look forward to that I didn’t before in the medical corps.

I went to the movies today but it was not of pleasure. It seems they still persist in showing me those darn training films. This one dealt with the articles of war and it wasn’t so bad as I had only seen it twice before. I was very lucky as I’ve seem most of them five or six times. Maybe one of these days I will run across one I haven’t seen and if I do I think I’ll die from the shock.

I still have no news as yet of my classification. It should be out by now but it isn’t. I’ll just have to wait for it. Nothing I can do about it. I’ll let you know as soon as I get it.

How do you like the new stationary? It is the first I’ve bought in months. But then I get tired of using the U.S.O. stationary.

I haven’t heard anything yet about a payday. I still have the $25 I sent for in reserve and $11 besides so I’m not too bad off. I image it will come in on a supplementary just after the first of the month. If we should get an open post and I can go to town I may have to dip into my reserve. It is a good thing to have though and I’m not going to use it unless I have to.

That’s it for now, more tomorrow.

Love

Bob
