Dear Sara:
It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon
down here in the sub-trOpics. | con
slider myself very fortunate in hav
ing the opportunity to enjoy con
tinuOusly beautiful weather and Il
work with the most well trained
commissioned officers and Off
GERS in the world. Without doubt
the nOn-coms who train us are the
finest men of all the non-cOmbatan
officers in this country and are
hand-picked from all the drill-in-
staructor schools in the, U. S. We
work, eat and sleep with them
They make it their business ia
know each one of us personally
and they would do anything in their
power as high-ranking nOn-cOms
for any one of us-likewise we
treat them as we would an older
brother.
The individual. inter-flight. in
er-squadron, and inter-training
group competition is perpetual
down here. Every soldier on the
beach tries to look better than the
man ahead of him-every flight on
the beach flight approximately 70
mem tries to look better than ev-
cry other flight. every squadron t3
flights) better than every other
squadron, and every training
group a to 6 squadrOnsJ better
than ever other r. G. Consequent
ly il gives you IA little thrill to look
in front and behind you tif the SER
geant is not lOOkingI and see l,5O0
men marching in perfect cadence!
The Chronicle is arriving on Sun
day while the news is still fresh
and / want to thank you and any
one else responsible for my re-
ceiving the best little paper in the
world from the best little town in
the world. | read every word on
every page-there's nOthink like
hearing who went where and when,
and who's selling what, etc.-espe-
cially when you're 1900 miles from
the ones you love.
Sincerely in sunshine and palm
trees.
