February 25, 1944
"Well another day in Uncle Sam's Army." Finally Frank was issued another fatigue uniform - a brand new one at that. And finally the original one can be sent to the laundry! The good news is he's also been issued U.S. Air Corp insignia, which will help him feel like less of a "Jeep." The books finally arrived, but he's not planning to study tonight - decided to write letters - studying will start Sunday. The mail was "swell" today. One from Mother, two from Harry, one from Ann, one from Keaty...also more shots today and more "preparedness talk", which amounted to the top Sergeant feeling they deserved some explanation. Same old story - most of them would not make it. He heard from the Otts and the Mrs. asked him for his opinion of Coach going to N.F.H.S. and he let them know, in no certain terms, that Coach could do a lot at the high school, but he didn't want them to work too for fear it would spoil them. Tuesday is payday - not sure what it will amount to. Since all "hell is breaking loose" in the barracks among the men who were too broke to go to town - the men are getting restless not knowing what is in store for them. Once they get paid, they can go to town and get it off their chests...
