what they are doing but it is a little different with me. No doubt the Japs think about as much of us as the sailors in the Atlantic think of the U-Boats. It is for our own benefit to keep things quiet. When we are at sea we don't trust anyone, not even our own aviators. Submarine warfare is a little different than the type most of the fellows from home are taking part in but I'm sure I wouldn't care to swap with many of them. I had a little experience with the infantry in the marines and I certainly don't envy those boys. We always have a bunk and for walking - we don't do any of it. Sometimes we would like to get a little exercise for the quarters are rather close. Everything is going fine and I'm in the best of health. Sincerely yours, Leo Palmer [L. R. Palmer CPHM]
