Darling,
Two weeks down – 5 to go and the pressure never lets up. Boy, they can really throw it at you for a solid 8 hours. It takes up 2-3 hours to unwind at nite and we’ve been in the sack and asleep before 10pm lately.
The course is real fine but the mess of information per day is outstanding. I’ll say one thing – we’re exposed to so much, we should retain something when we leave.
Otherwise, it’s a real dull existence – the food in the mess hall is so horrible we practically eat off base every-nite. I don’t know how the cooks do it – it isn’t easy. What I wouldn’t give for your cooking right now.
We all made a mad mistake in not bringing a radio with us, too. These BOQ’s can get mighty dull and boring at times. We’re staying home this weekend instead of going to Eglin – will probably go again next week. We had planned to go but got out of school late tonite so just said the hell with it.
Had a short letter from Mury today – I had already written her Tuesday. Incidently, I goofed and put the article in the wrong envelope so she will send it to you.
Don’t have much news left – I miss you terribly darling and love you very much.

All my love,
Hubby
