fruitful spring in this, his last year of college, and immediately before he turns to a grimmer task. He and Bob Hobbs have the most unwavering characters and finest instincts of anyone I know. Blessed are the women who catch them. I believe that I have already told you that I finished squadron one the forepart of this week. Now you will be interested to know what I put in for. The Navy, of course, puts each man where it thinks he will best fit in, but, at the same time, it tries, insofar as is practically possible, to assign duty in conformance with the man's desire. There is considerably less demand for "P" boat pilots than there are applications. You, supposedly, must have a 4.0 in celestial to qualify for consideration.
