Dear Sister Sue:
Well, we're in. Old Doc Smell was
right when he said we would pass the
physical exam, because we both made
it. Say, they have some system for
getting you into this camp. Zip, bang:
out Of your civies, take q bath, cough,
sneezc. bow and scrapc before a bunch
of Doctors; down the alley and catch
some uniform clothes like the old fire
horses used to get into the harness,
and out the other end of the place.
We've been through it all. and here
sit Jim and I dressed like soldiers,
with overseas caps, khaki breechcs,
gold dew-dads on our collars and all
the trimmings.
It was fun watching the other kids
come In after we were through. Some
looked as scared as I felt the night
the old COW bellered at me out at the
cemetery; some so short they could
hide in this years growth of wheat,
and some SO tall they'll either have
to have two hunks or let their feet
hang over. Nearly forgot to tell you
that we got paid U mileage money
five cents a mile for the whole dis
lance from homeland the first thing
I did was 60 buy a bunch Of candy.
You know how I am about my chow.
Old Sergeant Spuds gave US porridge
and cream. milk. coffee. scrambled
eggs and toast for breakfast, and I
sure did eat. But you know me, Sis.
I'm always hungry. Well, anyhow, I
bought this candy at a place they call
the Post Exchange. Why they call it
that I don't know. because I didn't
see any posts, and the only exchange
made was my money for the moneys
worth. They have some names for
things around these Army places. An
office is a headquarters" or II it Is in
a tent. they call it an orderly ROOM"
A young lieutenant is a "shavetail":
an officers house is quarters: q
chaplain is Holy joe: the doctor is
"Sawbones." or pill roller: and q
guy who "a pounding down some
tent pegs told me that q sergeant was
a buck passer." I can't keep up to
them yet, Sis, but I'll learn.
There goes a whistle. Time for
chow again. And after supper tonight
there will be an entertainment, with
music, singing. boxing and wrestling.
Some one with a voice like a bull is
hollering Outside for chow" So long,
Sis. Me for the chow.
Your loving brother.
