Dear Mom, Dad, and Snapper
Well not much new to write about. We finished our classes today with the 57 recoilless rifle and tomorrow we are going to have a test on things we have covered. Today I gave a class on Range Estimation. How to guess ranges, methods used etc. It went over pretty good. I a m getting so I can give a pretty good class now. The Co. Clerk asked me last night if I wanted to go on R&R to Kakaton or something like that. I said OK so I leave the 26. Hope I am there for the 4th of July. I am going to send some things home when I go.
It’s been windy and cold the last few days with a little rain but it doesn’t bother me to bad. I sleep worm at night.
I haven’t had anymore mail since I got the card from you for Father’s Day. The mail hasn’t come in for today yet. Will probably get a letter when it does. It might wait till I see before I finish this letter.
That is quite a flare up in South America isn’t it. (note: There was a coup de ta in Guatemala around this time.) Hope it wont amount to much. I read in Stars and Stripe also about Harry Truman going to the hospital for an operation. (note: Truman suffered a gallbladder attack while attending the Starlight Theater.)
Well I am beginning to feel like an old Sgt now. I walk around with a clip board with my motor and a Sgt Stick. That is just a name we have for it. It’s a stick or something we cut from a tree and whittle on while some one is giving a class and also use it for a pointer.
I just got a letter June 14. So Keith came home on a 30 day leave. How is he doing. Has he made any rank yet. I guess he feels good to be back home. He has only been gone a years. I remember I was home about a years ago today or starting home. Wish I was coming home soon but it wont be for awhile yet. The time sure goes fast. This month is about gone now and another one to start. Well I don’t have much more to write about for now so I will close . Will try to write before I go on R&R if not I’ll write you in Japan
Lots of Love, Ted
