Dear Mom and Dad
How is everything? I left at 3 am on Flight 5 to Frisco. I couldn't get on the plane with the other guys. I got into Frisco at 9 am and took a bus to Oakland.
I went to an early show and then met the boys at the bus station about 2 pm, then came on out to Stoneman. We checked in at 4:30 and 4 of us got on the same Roster. Three other guys that were with us came in a little later and were put on a different Roster. We are all in the same barracks though.
We haven't done to much. I went to the show last night and saw Band Wagon with Fred Astaire. This morning we went to a couple of places and processed. I got a shot. We still have two more days of processing.
I am on guard duty tonight. 4 of us stand guard in the barracks and keep order etc. They gave us a helmet and a billy club.
I don't know how long I will be here. The average time is 10 days. I may be here longer. They are sending guys to Korea, Japan, Okinawa, and Hawaii. I could get any of those places.
When we finish processing we will have details ad KP till we leave.
It is nice here and the food is fair.
I sure had a nice time when I was home. I was glad I could come home again even if it did cost a lot. I appreciated using the car too.
Well not much more to say. I'll write you again later on. Write me to the address on the letter. I haven't got paid yet or got any mail. I should get some tomorrow.
Love, Ted
