Dear Donna,
Well this is a heck of a way a place to be but ts near home if I stay in the state long enough. I left Chanute Fld 15th May and am with the 15th air force. I was kinda lucky in getting a ratting but the exam wasbt too stiff. I put in for W.O. but it will take a little while before I can take an exam am not sure I can pass it, sure would like to. They have me flying as Radar Bombader its lots of fun but the main thing is $50.00 more a month there is a round the world comming up am tryiing to get on it andthink i will make it then get up in So Da for a few weeks. I guess this iwll be the best thing for me for a while maybe it iwll straighten me up again and maybe I will dell more like working agina when I get out. I thought for a whle they were going to sen me to te pacific again but got to Camp Storman and asked if I could stay near home and they said yes. This palce sure lives up to it nams as Castle it sure is clean and nice. Well have your folks Say hello to them. Hows Mary? When are you an Joe going to get married? Let me in on the dpe here
