Hello darlings,
I have found out now that this Air Corps is no nonsense. School is really tough-especially physics. Most of the fellows have had college physics so it’s easy for them but, I have to study like mad.
We have a new post commander now-and he really is tough. He wants to cancel all weekend passes and have school seven days a week.
I don’t mind school but, I think everybody should have one day of rest don’t you? I have been studying my physics for three hours and I think I have it pretty well now.
We had inspection yesterday by the Wing Commander. I cleaned my rifle for at least two hours-it paid off too-my commanding officer complimented me on my clean rifle. Our squadron won first place in the Sunday parade last week. Our commanding officer was as happy as a kid. He’s really a regular guy-everybody likes him. Some fellows are always complaining about one thing or another-they’re starting to drive me nuts. I guess there are a few of them wherever you go.
This California climate is pretty nice, cool at night-and sunny during the day. Every native Californian is as tan as Thelma. The homes out here are very beautiful-they remind me of low Spanish villas. I still think Minneapolis has them all beat. You should hear the arguments going on between we Minnesotans and the Illinois boys. They are really a nice bunch of fellows.
Tell Jocie I enjoyed talking to her and I will write her soon. I’m having some pictures developed and will send them soon.
Love, Jim
