11:05 a.m.
Dear Folks:
This morning we arrived at five a.m. Had chow at seven a.m. Went to church at 8:30 a.m. Got back to the barracks at ten a.m. and then drilled until just now or rather until eleven a.m.
Tomorrow morning we really start on our training. It is known as boot camp and we have seven weeks of it.
So far I like it very much.
We have to wash and iron our own clothes and what I mean one must be neat and clean at all times.
I also received a new testament at church this morning. The sermon this morning was very good.
Yesterday I had my teeth cleaned, and also a shot in the arm. We have the same shots in the arm as Robert had to take. Some of the fellows got awful sick. Mine didn’t bother me in the least.
Last evening we went to a movie here at the camp. It was concerning
the health of the body. It surely was very interesting and one that everybody should see.
Climate here surely is odd. Last evening we wore an overcoat. You see the movie is an outdoor amphitheater. At night we use two army blankets on us. It doesn’t get warm until about eleven in the morning. Then I mean it really gets hot.
Dad I got your letter and the stamps. Thanks a lot for them, you were absolutely correct.
Mother I surely do enjoy hearing from you and Dad. Hope you are feeling fine.
I will close for this time as I want to write to Robert’s today.
Love to all,
Leo
