Dear Mom
Well they are pretty liberal around here with their time. They give us 2 hours for lunch and I got 1 1/2 of it left yet. We haven't done much here since we have been here. Just getting processed and so forth. We start training tomorrow. It is just a refresher on what we have already had. I guess we will be a little busier when we start that. We are all split up here now. There are only 14 boys here now from the 1st platoon. The rest are around here somewhere in another Company. Everybody goes to Washington or Baltimore ever night. We get off at 6 p.m. and don't have to be back untill 5 A.M. the next day. We can get weekend passes as long as we are here if we aren't on orders or guard or K. P. I haven't had K. P. or anything else, so it will probably be my luck to catch one of them over the weekend.
