I guess I’ll have to be an officer. Ok Casanova :) So he makes it thru the inspection and plays some ball. Maybe now he'll attend the dances so he can those skip the alerts. You do have to take these alerts seriously since there are reports of
Anyway I love you more than I do pool playing. You just know Mom would rather go to a dance with her husband and no doubt she has friends that are going "sans" husbands or boyfriends as well. I do hope she gets herself something nice. She deserves
Of course I fell asleep thinking of you. If only he had known that his letters would be valued and shared he might have saved hers. While we only get half the story, I think we're figuring it out. He lives for mail from her and same for
Every man should get married. Make no mistake, he doesn't like the Army - he's just getting used to it. It's a hard life at best. Weather is getting warmer which makes working the big guns harder and harder. At least a good game of

People can’t resist the uniform and they like to talk. What a remarkable milestone! His first pass. I think this means he's finished basic training. I believe he's hitchhiking from Fort Banks to East Hartford and back again. Thanks to being a handsome guy in
Happy May Day! Thank goodness and hooray - passes are now being issued and Dad can get the heck out of the camp at least for a couple of days. For Dad, good days are measured by the time spent with Mom. It’s the g.d. war that is the
...but I guess I’ll be a good soldier. Happy pay day and happy spring! The first payday of his Army career. I don't think they've gotten the raise to $42 per month yet but it's coming. In the meantime, it's $21
You aren't really horrible. So she's driving up Friday but instead of brownies and fudge, he'll probably get a knuckle sandwich. And he deserves it for all the ribbing she has to put up with. At least a knuckle sandwich doesn't require
