Saving...
2 128, so I passed easily enough. All we needed was 110. I don't know what good it will do though because they don't give out very good here. I guess you can't hardly get a strip on your sleeve let alone O.C.S. Guess what we got ourselves into. This is not an infantry camp like we though but I guess it is a heavy weapons place. Composed mostly of machine guns and trench mortars. Some fun. Boy is this a hot place. It is located in a valley in the mountains about 25 miles back from the ocean. I guess it gets up to around 140 degrees out on the drill ground. It was 112 degrees today and they thought it was cooler than usual. Don't write back just yet because they are going to switch us around some yet. I'll let you know when you can write.
