Dear Mom + Dad,
I
suppose that you notice that my writing has thinned down a little. The reason was that my pen really had a
regular groove worn in so I got to filing the point down sharper. It is about time I did that. It really writes a lot better now. My mail finally caught up with me today and I
received six letters which means I will be busy answering them for a while. Your letter also arrived in the batch with
the rest along with the one that was sent back.
Thanks for the picture of Mary, it really isn’t a bad a shot of either
one. I’m happy for the kid and I hope
she makes out all right, but I’m sure she will.
My
flying time is beginning to creep up slowly but surely. I passed the four hour mark today. In another four hours we’re do for solo
flying. I can take it off and land it so
I think I may be able to solo. At least
I can get up and come down in one piece.
I’ve been through most of the maneuvers now and it is getting now that
you are required to do precision flying.
It is rather hard an it takes time but I think I can make it.
We are
getting open post tomorrow night and Sunday and I will get my first chance to
see Pine Bluff. We will be off from 7
P.M. to 1 A.M. Saturday night and from 7AM to 7AM on Sunday. All in all a good deal. I feel that I need the time off to o as the
routine gets me down once in a while.
I heard
from Booky today and he has been accepted for O.C.S. at the armored force
school in Fort Knox, Kty. He is trying
to get a furlough while he is waiting (his) turn to go. I hope he has some good luck.
I must
get on to some of my other correspondence so forgive if I quit here.
All my love
Bobby
