Dear Mom, Dad, and Snapper
Well I guess you are home by now. I am still on the 60mm motor. Margie and I went to the show last night again. I don’t know what I will do tonight.
I had something happen today that may be good news and may not. They called 16 of us out at to go to be interviewed by Government Intelligence. It is a secret of some kind. They sent 5 back because they had been charged with some crime. They took down our life history, every place we lived, when you and Dad were born and where and all that kind of stuff. All he told us was that we would finish our basic here, take our leave as usual and then go to a 2 week school which has something to do with aircraft in one way or another. Then we would go to our port after school. We will still be infantry as far as I know but will have two weeks of some kind of training. I will have to wait and find out. It may work into something good I hope. They told us not to talk to anyone about it and even among our selves. They will probably be around checking on my credit and character references.

I don’t want you to say a word about this to anyone at all. I will let you know more when I find out more. It must be pretty secret or they wouldn't have told us not to talk about it. They picked us up in a truck and they just told us to get on, that was all they said.
Well how was the trip? I got your card you mailed Monday. I guess I will close for now, I’ll write later on. I sure miss having you here to see at night. I really had a swell time when you were here on your trip.
Love, Ted
