We go on a bivouac Sun. morning and come back Fri. and go directly into pilot school. That is the pre-flight and lasts about 9 weeks. I will have a change of address when we get back from our bivouac.<\/p>\n<p>We received part of our cadet issue in clothing and have been sworn into the air crew. This is just a note to let you know that I got what I wanted and at the present after 17 hrs. of MM. for the 2nd time this week I want to get the full benefit of my 7 hrs. sleep. One more thing is that we go into the pressure chamber Sat. morning. They take us up to 18,000 (feet) without oxygen masks and then up to 38,000 with. All the cadets that we have talked to have got the bends at 18,000 before the O2 masks were used. I will know more about this later also.<\/p>\n<p>Goodnight<\/p>\n<p>Love,<\/p>\n<p>Tom<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2961\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/July-22-1943-Santa-Ana-California.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2961\" src=\"http:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/July-22-1943-Santa-Ana-California-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"July 22, 1943, Santa Ana, California\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/July-22-1943-Santa-Ana-California-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/July-22-1943-Santa-Ana-California.jpg 648w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">July 22, 1943, Santa Ana, California<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_2960_1();\">References<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_2960_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_2960_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_2960_1\" style=\"\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">References<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_2960_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_2960_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_2960_1_1');\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_plugin_link\" ><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">M.M. =\u00a0Mess Management which is the same as K.P., or Kitchen Patrol<\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function footnote_expand_reference_container_2960_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_2960_1').show(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_2960_1').text('\u2212'); } function footnote_collapse_reference_container_2960_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_2960_1').hide(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_2960_1').text('+'); } function footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_2960_1() { if (jQuery('#footnote_references_container_2960_1').is(':hidden')) { footnote_expand_reference_container_2960_1(); } else { footnote_collapse_reference_container_2960_1(); } } function footnote_moveToReference_2960_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_2960_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } } function footnote_moveToAnchor_2960_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_2960_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } }<\/script> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wed. night. 9:30 Dear Folks, Got classified as a pilot yesterday and have been on M.M. ever since.[1]M.M. =\u00a0Mess Management which is the same as K.P., or Kitchen Patrol A couple of my buddies got bombardier, there were 25 bombardiers out of the squadron.
