Raleigh, North Carolina

Dear Sis,

            I am all ready getting a taste of being pushed around in the army and I haven’t even left yet.  After killing the whole afternoon I came back to the station at 8 and they just say come back at 10.  Now it is ten and they say come back at 10:30.  I still don’t know where or with whom I am going.  Between 8 and 10 decided to get in a better mood with a porterhouse steak, so I did.
