Dear Harriet,
We’re
feeling great-stiff necks and writer’s cramp. As I told you yesterday we tested
all day today. After putting our bunks ship shape and doing our cleanup detail
(mine being still the skipper’s quarters) we fell out and marched over to
Regimental Headquarters-from there we marched to a large warehouse sized
classroom and I and about 2,000 more gobs took every test in the book from
about 6:00 till dinner or chow as you’ve found we call it. Then we went back
and took about 4 more hours of tests. I’ll still write when I can but it’s near
impossible. I’ll get about 1 hour sleep before I have to get up—you see I have
to stand Guard in the top deck Cubicle from 2200 till 2400 (ten till midnight).
I imagine it’ll be an ordeal after that test-they’ll correct that test and give
us an interview, between the two they’ll determine our future in the navy.
Either a trade school or some excitement on the high seas. Well we sent every
pair of pants and blouse we own over to the tailors today-4 whites, 3 whit
blouses, dress blues, and two blue pants also 2 undress blue trousers. Talk to
you after while my dear. Till I’m asleep—toodle oo.
Paul
