4 bombing which so far we haven't even thought about. Usually it's hot within the plane and we work with our shirts off. We don't wear parachutes during flight because they'd only hamper your movement. When you get ready to fly you check your chute and tighten it (that how a man may break his legs; or back or be ruptured, if he jumps in a loosely fitted parachute). Then you unfasten it and sit on it. It a matter of a minute or two to get it on if you want. That wall paper sample you sent was unusual. Gee I wish we were picking out patterns and such - like things for our home. My brother has been transferred to Camp Sibert, Ala. It's a hellhole around there, he says. Sounds like the town of San Marcos. Anyway, Bobby,
