Dear folks,<\/p>\n

Just a note for tonight. We now have a good deal of free time and all of us are just sort of taking life easy. I went to the show tonight, they have three movies here on the post and every time I have been they are all packed, however, most of them are enlisted men and not cadets so you can see who the busy ones are.<\/p>\n

I sent you a package today that I hope you receive in good condition. They have several things at the P.X. and I have been planning on sending you something for the house for a long time. They had some flags there but they are all too gaudy to suit me.<\/p>\n

We heard tonight that most of the squadron is going to Visalia, Calif. I think 16 are going to Oxnard, Calif. Visalia is about 50 min. from Fresno as far as I can make out and from all accounts is pretty nice. It is small and they supposedly fly Ryan PT’s (primary trainers)<\/a>. Oxnard is also suppose to be plenty nice but I think I would rather go with the rest of the squadron. We should know who is going where in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

I am sending a couple of stickers to take the place of N.U.’s Wildcat for this year. These stickers represent a pretty good team also.<\/p>\n

Goodnight –<\/p>\n

With love,<\/p>\n

Tom<\/p>\n
