Dearest Doris & Johnnie
There isn’t much to write about today only I got the bigest f___ [rest of word crossed off] I ever got in my life Yesterday. I was sworn in to the U.S. Army. They said all those assignments to the navy didn’t mean a thing because they were all cancelled July 1st the Navy isn’t hardly taking anyone. I am a down hearted army boy. I am in the army anyway, they can make me take it, but they can’t make me like it.
We may get our uniforms today or tomorrow the quicker the better because these clothes are getting dirty.
Well Honey maybe everything has happen for the best. Maybe God will give us a hand to end this thing they call war.
How is Johnnie coming, minding O.K I suppose ha, ha!
Riley and I are in the same barrack last night just two bed apart, and Bud is just in the next barrack.
As ever
