Well they sure do keep us on the go. The first two days were spent in taking tests. Tomorrow I'm due for a xray and a waserman test in the morning and a talk with the psychologist in the afternoon. This morning we all went down to the barber shop and had a hair cut. They - eight barbers - cut 80 men's hair in less than an hour. The just used clippers and didn't take any off the top. When we finished our cuts we went to the PX and spent the rest of our time spending money. The only time we get to go to the PX is in formation. After we got back from our hair cuts we handed in a bunch of our equipment that we won't use such as canteen, messkit, woolen underware, helmets, leggens, flight jackets, and fatigue hat. When I handed in my stuff I was drafted so I had to help count the stuff and put it in bags. In the afternoon we had a talk by the head Chaplain and his aids. We were given a GI Bible. They told us the only way we could get a furlough is an emergency furlough through the red cross and your doctor. We drilled some and then we stood retreat. I got a gig in inspection this morning for leaving a laundry slip on my shelf. Tomorrow we are going to have a white glove inspection. So far every one on latrine duty has received at least five gigs. I can't tell you anything about my tests but they covered everything. We also had coordination tests. I guess they'll be sending your my insurance policy eventually. I had it made out to Pa as the principle and you as the contingent beneficiary. Boy are there the officers on this post. They treat us much better than enlisted men. You can see their attitude by the following incident. Fifteen of us went to chow, since we were on detail, late. We were the only ones in the dining hall, then a couple of sergeants came in and sat down with us, then a 1st Looie and a Captain came in and eat at the same table with us. When we eat we sit at the tables and are served from a center bowl like at camp. The food hasn't been too good, but this morning we had pork chops and potatoes for breakfast. We don't have any exercise so we're kind of restless. There are P38s flying over all day long. You can always tell when they're coming by the sound they make. The motors aren't loud but the plane whistles through the air. I'm filling out my choice. I put pilot, Bombardier, and Navigator in their respective order. I get my Cadet blouse when I get classified and then become a cadet. Well I guess that's all for tonight so I'll say good night.

Love,
Rae

P.S I still haven't seen the Calif. sun. It stays foggy but doesn't rain
