Dear Folks,

What a day. This morning wasn’t bad, we had interviews but this afternoon was what you read about in the paper. We were out on the frill field from 1:00 to 4:30 + my face is so sunburned I don’t know when I will be able to shave. In the time we were out there we drilled till 3:30 + then body conditioning. Then at 4:30 we got shots. A vaccination, + two shots. They give the vaccination with a 10⊄ screw driver by giving it a twist on your arm. Several fellows passed out + are therefore excluded from cadet training. They have so many applicants now that they are through them out for anything. Wish me luck.

Love, Tom
