Carroll Steinbeck letters to parents, March - April, 1944

Carroll Steinbeck to Alfred and Vira Steinbeck Page 2

I'm in the so called "panther Div" or 66th. I'm sticking in an arm patch which will explain why it is called the "Panther Div". At least Ken and I have similar patches.
Life is going to be hell in general around here and later to so don't worry if I don't write too often. I have to get back into the swing of things. Sixteen hours of hard work a day will be no fun.
The trip was ok. Got in yesterday evening, but had to be classified and so forth before getting assigned. That is why I didn't write then.
It is now 10:30 PM and I have about a mile to go before I get to my barrack. Guess I'm plenty tired enough to use that bunk to.
I write at the first opportunity and don't worry between letters.
