Our water has to be piped in for miles over the mountains as any around here is very salty. We drill and hike every day, as yet there is not much work as we are waiting for our planes. It is quite a job getting a new squadron all lined up when you think of the amount of equipment each one has. I will probably be assigned to ground maintenance work as they could take two fellows up in the space I'd require in a plane. Or maybe a few more gallons of gas or a bomb perhaps. I haven't lost any wright in the army and the only rubber I've worn out four them is my rubber heels. I've put several thousand miles on them I think. I expect to be at this camp for a month or six weeks and then be transferred to a different field for some more training. Hope I hit a place where there there are some trees and green grass, I wouldn't trade
