changing three superchargers and doing a fifty hour inspection. Will be glad when its done. Our C.O came thru inspecting barracks today and gigged quite a number, dont know how I escaped as I forgot and left some laundry hanging up in the barracks and some of my football junk was on the shelf. They restricted the guys for from 2 days to a week for [illegible] discrepancies, That really makes the guys mad Just like keeping kids after school. I cant see why a fellow would stay in the army during peace time. They had an open house at the field today and the place was overrun with tax payers. Of course they were not allowed on the line where the planes are parked but could inspect the barracks and day rooms etc. At noon when people could come around they had pork chops but tonight after the [illegible] had gone we had stew (mutton at that). Wasnt much interested in that so will have something from the P.X. later. One of the fellows from our outfit went elk hunting last week and got a nice four point buck. Wish we would have some of it out here at camp but I guess it is with his girls folks down town. Should help stretch those ration stamps. Nothing more tonight Love Johnny
