Dear Mom, Dad, and Snapper
Finished my first day of school today. Wasn’t too bad. The instructor is a Master Sgt. 
Looks just like Hollyinghead and about the same age. There are quite a few taking the course now. Some instructors here at Eta Jima are taking the course. There are 23 now. Most all of them are Sgts. We have 3 talks to give. A 5 min, 15, and 30 min. Today we read a story that he gave us. They didn’t get to me yet. I will give mine in the morning. Mine is taken from the Reader’s Digest. “Never Say Diet.”

It is worth the trip I guess and I will learn something.
We haven’t got a pass yet. Yesterday I took a few pictures and fooled around. It was nice all day. Last night they had another dance. I took that in again. I think we will have a pass tomorrow night so I’ll try the town if I can.
I sent some pictures in my last letter. That camera took some nice pictures. I’ll try to send you all I can and send a few each time I write. Take care of them and the next chance I get I’ll mail a picture album home. I’ll write on the back of the pictures what and who they are. (note: I have only seen a few of the pictures he keeps talking about and have no idea what happened to the bulk of them.) I have a roll in my camera now that I have taken and will send them when I can.
I haven’t found anything I can send you yet but before I leave I’ll find something.
I’ll be glad to get some mail from you, as it is I might not get any till I get back to the company. Maybe they will forward my mail over. I asked them to.
I have been wondering if I made corporal or not.
I read in the paper that they are moving the 40
and 45th 
Div out of Korea. I have heard some rumors that the 5th was going to take over the 40 Div place on line. I had figured that was the out fit they would pull out.

Lots of Love, Ted
