Dear Mother and Dad
Sorry I haven’t written you every day but the army life is getting pretty rugged for me now.
Mom, I went on a convoy to Oakland California and came back Wednesday and Thursday I went on a forty mile hike and bivouac (*1) and got back Friday morning and when I got to the CO they called me to the motor pool and I spent the rest of the day there.
It is really hot here and I nearly die in the sun and every afternoon it gets hotter.
Today I drove a bunch of Captains and Sergeant Majors (*2) so I was a big shot. HA what do you think. I am driving a car next to a jeep and I really like my job.
Tell everyone hello for me.
Love,
Sam
