Tuesday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
I wrote you about open post last night as being possible today but here I am back in the barracks. But wait a second we will have it Thursday. We will be off from 10 to 10P.M. It sure will do my outlook a lot of good to get a change of scenery. Also they are going to pay us Thursday morning and we get a full pay. Isn’t that wonderful all those things happening at once. I don’t know yet how much I will get but I image after all the deductions are taken out I will probably get around $60. It will seem good to have an excess of money. If I have enough I’m going to try and send some home if not I’ll find good use of it.
I also fell into a soft detail today quite by accident. They picked five men out of each barracks for a detail and I was one of them. It turned out that all we have to do is keep the outside of our barracks clean for three days. We are excused from everything. As luck would have it I was supposed to pull K.P. today and because of this I got out of it. I think I will get credit for K.P. on the roster. Everything seems rosy as things are set up now. Easy detail, open post and getting out of K.P.
Well our upstairs bay finally got double decker beds. They shipped new men in and as yet the shipment hasn’t gone out. So for the present we are crowded. I’m still waiting for the list to come out for shipment to see if I make it or not. I’d like to go now and get started on this deal. I’ll probably end up in Kelly Field, across the road.
That’s all for now.
Love
Bob
