Saving...
The call to quarters has sounded and taps will be done before long so I'll quit and let you sleep. I hate to keep you up this way but when I get started talking you know how I am. I've burned my light long after taps for several nights now so I guess I really owe it to Uncle Sam to quite at taps tonight. The army is a great place, but bachelor quarters aren't nearly so comfortable as the others. If I get my promotion while I'm at some southern training camp don't be surprised if I bring some southern belle up on my furlough. The thing is in the air at this post and according to Ross' psychology I'm bound to imitate the crowd. "Well, I ain't bothered." Sincerely Bob
