it will go thru within a month or so. Hope so. Had some trouble to start with as they were originally planned we had to send our release paper back to the draft boards for their signature and my luck still held. They refused to sign it. Guess they thought this life was doing me so much good that I should take the whole 2 1/2 years of it. Anyway its changed now and their opinion doesn't count. I've sign my paper and if nothing else turns up it may not be too long. Part of the fellow from here are back home enjoying themselves now. Half of the camp is home on furloughs now. If I don't get a discharge by Nov 10 I going to take one and go back to Iowa for 15 day at least. Haven't been back since I left on April 14. I've got to go on camp gaurd tomorrow morning.
