"They have been shipping Air Cadets out of here by the hundreds, but I guess I'll be here some time before I can get my situation in order". While things are in limbo, Frank has received some mail, which helps his temperament. His fireman's shift has been all screwed up having been stuck with the 6-12 midnight shift for three straight nights. The schedule is good for his sleeping, but you can't shower & shave from 5:45 AM until 6 PM...but he's found a way to sneak in shave and is not happy about the inability to shower daily. It appears that the processing of Cadets is proceeding rapidly and he presumes there are a lot o schools ready to take them now. Most have been getting out in 3 days, while he's still hanging around - and getting razzed about it. In a letter he received from another fellow from Niagara Falls, John Dick, just passed his 40 hour check in primary flying, but was scared stiff because the two that went up before him had washed out.
