Dear Mom, Dad, and Snapper
Well not much doing today. Have taken it easy today (or this morning.) Yesterday we had inspection and yesterday afternoon I went over to see Arkie. He called and said he was going home this next Thursday the 15 of July. He came after me and brought me back in a jeep last night. Had a good time with him. They had a dance etc. He had a couple of steaks and French fries for dinner. I should be on my way home in about 3 months after he gets home. I don’t know if I will see him anymore or not before he goes home.
Friday our company went out to the beech and had a party. I swam in the ocean and it sure was nice. The waves were the biggest I have ever seen. Way over our heads and we had our air mattresses with us and rode the waves in like a surf board. We had fried chicken, potato salad, cold cuts and buns beer and coke. Sure had a good time. Hope we can go out there later on.
To bad about McLaughlin breaking his back.
About the classes I wrote about given in the field was on the 57 recoilless rifle. I gave 4 hours altogether. They were (note: could not read the next word.) I was teaching the 57 RR etc. I gave a class on the Range Estimation too. Most all of it was talking.
Well I don’t have much more to write about. I will write you later.
Love, Ted
PS: I still have the same job. I was going to take over the 57 section when Sgt Wood left but we got another Sgt First Class who moved in the platoon so I guess he will take over.
