December 2, 1942 – KP Because the GI Boys had Typhoid + Tetanus Shots



Wednesday Morning

Dear Mom + Dad,

I neglected to write you last night as I was in no mood to write. I was selected to be on K.P. and that is where I’ve been working from 3PM to 3PM today. All of the new fellows from civilian life took their typhoid + tetanus shots yesterday so they gave them time off as it some of them sick. As a consequence all the G.I. boys pulled down K.P. and guard duty. However, it wasn’t so bad but I was dead tired last night. I feel fine now and my day is all through. I’m figuring on going to the show to see a movie.

The routine of this life is rather tiresome and it is getting on my nerves a little. We drill and do calisthenics both morning and evening mix a stint of K.P. in now and then and you have a picture of my life. It isn’t tough but it is very monotonous after a few weeks of the same thing. Perhaps the worse feature is not getting any time off to break up the monotony. I’d like to get in town once in a while to at least get away from the post. I’m not really complaining but you know how it is. Well perhaps I’ll be off to pre-flight soon. I just have to wait now as I have been doing for the past few months and hope for the best.

I received a letter from Dr. Durgee that I will answer very shortly now. My correspondence is really catching up on me and I’m having a tough job answering the letters.

Well I guess that’s all for now.

Love
Bob
