Hello Roy,
Received your letter this morning and thought I would answer it while I didn't have anything to do.
Tom and I were supposed to go to church today, but we slipped off and went to the PX and got us a coca cola and some ice cream. They didn't say much to us.
Me and another boy from Massachusetts had a little fight in the barracks last night. I busted his nose, and he quit.
I saw a good show yesterday. The name of it was Gung Ho. It was about the marines fighting on some island. I wish I could be doing the fighting they did and come back alive. I got a letter from Harvey Hodge yesterday, and he told me he was taking care of all my women. ha.
My basic training is 8 weeks, so I don't guess I will get to come home until about the first of March. We didn't pass our 10-day inspection yesterday, so we have to drill until dark now, with a 9 lb. rifle all day long, and that's 6 days a week, too. We get Sunday off. I have to wash my clothes out after while.
I've heard from Dugie twice since I've been here. Mom said they are moving them again, but he didn't say anything about it.
Guess I will quit for now. Tell Dad to take care of himself. Tell Mom to try to send me some candy if she can find any.
Your brother,
Pedue
