Keep pulling for me

Darlings,

Your most interesting letters arrived today. I must try to find time to write Uncle Tom. He’s certainly a grand fellow.

Say, Dad, those pictures you speak of were taken on the post. I will try to send them if I can ever find mailing envelopes. The only ones I had taken off the post were those two-one for Mother and Thelma.

They keep us so darn busy here-We thought we had it tough in basic and primary-that’s the way goes-it never gets easier-always harder. I don’t think I would’ve worked and worried so much for a mining engineer’s degree. The harder you work for something the more you appreciate it when you get it but, I still haven’t got it.

Pete isn’t my roommate but, we still see each other all the time-discuss our flying and argue over the ability of our flying instructors. This flying business is very interesting-you never know everything that’s why it will always stay interesting.

I hope I don’t get Instructor out of this course. My instructor told me I have a chance because my record is pretty good, I guess. I want to see combat-maybe I’m foolish but, I want my kids to be proud of their Dad like I am about mine. Not many can say their Dad has seen combat duty.

Well, darling, I always appreciate your very interesting letters-I wish I could write more often but I try to-honestly.

Keep pulling for me

Your loving son,

Jim
