That 12 extra points they award for a first child would sure come in handy. Brother, this army life is no fun and, as bad as it sounds, I think a wife and kid would be the lesser of two evils. Yeah, I guess you better not figure on seeing me for a long, long time. As you know, we’ve been living very decently (figu - ratively speaking) the past seven weeks — regular duty hours and enough free time to get around without being cramped. Just today, I spent a very enjoyable afternoon with a damn pretty Spanish senori- ta. I have a date with her for Wednesday night. Some sailor I met today has a date with her sister, so we’ll go out togeth- er, and the girls can chaperone each other instead of having to drag the family. The deal is too good for us, though, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed. The same old question is still with us — Wonder where to next: and How long ‘till then?
