at all yet so will play their first team. The 125th battalion is going to be broke up. Two of the companies are going to the 126th and 127th Battalions, one to each. And the other two will probably be headquarters for some unit. And I suppose we will lose Major Philpot. He certainly had the blues today when he told us about it. It sure does beat the dickens. When we get so far along in one thing they transfer us to something else. I guess we are just the same as the conscripts. We will move day after tomorrow to either the 126th Mg Bn or 127th or be the machine gun company of the 136th Infantry. I dont give a darn where we are sent. Thats the way I feel about it. Well private school is over but we did't learn anything new. Well its about my bed time. Write real soon. Lovingly, Tom
