My Dearest Eleanor,
Another busy day. Guess they weren't kidding when they
said the loafing was only temporary, but who cares. I would rather keep busy than sit on my
fanny all day.
After the movie last night I returned to
B.O.Q. and wrote six letters--the Fleischers, Collons, Goldie M., Frances and
Jack, Ruth and Harry and the Aranoffs.
At noon today the doctors got together
and played volleyball. We're going to
do the same every noon. We had a lot of
fun and exercise but we sure looked soft.
Dr. Tyler, who has been here for six
months, got his orders for fleet marine duty. This is considered the most rugged
outfit there is. The dentist
trains right along with the marines and goes on all hikes under full
pack. In combat he
goes over with the second wave. All of this has made him very happy as
you can well understand. Now all the men who have been here for
six months or more are expecting orders any day.
Don't let this worry you. I still will be here for at least six
months and it can be a year or more before anything happens.
You should be through riding the red
pony by Saturday night and then we'll have a little serious business to take
care of. So until Saturday
night keep those panties on and it'll be my pleasure to take them off.
Love,
Gil
Harry
Ruth
