Dear Ma and Pa,
I'm good. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother
Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for Old Man Minch
at the Uvalde creosote plant by a dang mile. Tell them
to join up quick before maybe all of the places are
filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed
till nearly 6 a.m., but I'm getting so I like to sleep
late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast
is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to
slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire
to lay or rattlesnakes to kill. Practically nothing in
the way of real work. Men got to shave but its not so
bad, they git warm water.
Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice,
cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kinda weak on chops,
potatoes, ham, chicken fried steak and other regular
food. But tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit
between two city boys that live on coffee. Their food
plus yours holds you till noon when you get fed again.
It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go
on "route" marches, which the Platoon Sergeant says are
long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my
place to tell him different. A "route march" is about
as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys
gets sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The country here is nice, but awfully crowded - nothing
like West Texas. The sergeant is like a schoolteacher.
He nags some. The Capt. is like the school board.
Majors and Colonels just ride around and frown. They
don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I
keep getting medals for shooting! I don't know why, cuz
the bull's-eye is near as big as a squirrel and don't
move. And it ain't shooting back at you, like the
Higget boys at home. All you got to do is to lay there
all comfortable and hit it. You don't even have to load
your own cartridges. They come in boxes - imagine that!
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before
other fellers get into this set-up and come stampeding
in.
Your loving daughter, Gail
