as THE OUTPOST (Continued from Page 2) Glider Infantry a little over a month and like it a lot and think I'm very fortunate in being in the . Glider Infantry. My only regret is that I couldn't have been in the army sooner. North Carolina is a great place, lots of heat and dust, but we're used to that by now and are going right to town with training. I guess I may as well close as this isn’t interesting, but I just wanted to thank you for The Post and I'll be looking forward to it every week. It's just like getting a letter from your best girl. Pvt. Roy Schultz L / Camp Machall, Lr North Carolina ® It’s interesting that letters from two fellows in Glider training should appear in the “same column this week. Let's hear more about it. —Editor. More Responsibility Dear Editor: ~ It's been some time since I've written to you and in that time a lot has happened, mainly I've been promoted to the rank of Tech- nical Sergeant which gives me a good deal more responsibility. I am now responsible to the C. O. for the whole medical detachment. It certainly is a lot different than just having a section. All I'm hoping for now is that I can do the job. We have been out in the woods roughing it for the past two weeks and boy’ if any one ever appreciated a good bed, I did. While out in the woods our mail didn’t come very regularly, thus I didn’t get the Post for two weeks. It sure was good to read The Post again after that two weeks. Well, I'd better close now and make out a couple of reports. As ever, Tech. Sgt. Emory Kitchel Camp Atterbury, Ind. e Congratulations on the promo- tion. I bought some meat of Lizzie this morning. Everything seems to be fine with her and your family. —Editor. is Around Camp Fire Dear Editor: I have been receiving the Post for several weeks and I haven't .had much time to drop you a line to thank you for it. I sure enjoy reading it every week to see how the folks are doing back home. I am writing to you. sitting by a large camp fire. We are on a two week problem and it is a great life. The boys have a guitar and violin and we are sure enjoying our- selves. I expect a promotion any time now and I sure hope I get it. I just came back from furlough and I thought while I was home I would get a chance to talk to you, but time didn’t permit. ‘Will close now thanking you for The Dallas Post and keep sending the paper and you will keep a sol- dier from getting lonely. Good Luck, Pvt. Walter Pilger Fort Bragg, « North Carolina e How about signing those fellows up for the square dances at Han- sons ? —Editor. | Christmas On St. Patrick’s Day Dear Editor: Thanks a lot for sending me The | Dallas Post. It is good to hear the home town news and also about the other Back Mountain boys that have left for the service: I want to take this opportunity to thank my friends for their Christ- mas gifts and cards that I received [last week. I really appreciated them. I will close now thanking you again for your great paper and to tell you of my change in address. Yours truly, 7 Por. W.E Rey. ia c-o Fleet Post Office San Francisco, Calif. e Walt: Your letter of the middle of March arrived here in good sea- son but those Christmas presents and cards were certainly a long time reaching you. That's one for the Marines to look into.—Editor. From California Dear Editor: I wish to inform you of my change of address. We are now here at McClellan Field, California. This is the first field that I came to when I came into the Army, and it sure is good to get back here again after all the sand and dust of Nevada. California is nice in the Spring- time. Everything is green and it isn’t too hot. : Glad to hear that my friend, Dana Campbell, is doing good in the Ar- my. He sure is lucky to get such a break to go to Mechanic School. 1 wait every week for The Post and I read every line in it from one end to the other. I hope I will continue to receive it. for some time to come. Thanking you again for the paper, I will close. Best of luck to all the Back Mountain folks. Sincerely, Pvt. Alfred R. Roman McClellan Field, California e Al: We've been after the Sweet Valley folks to send in all the news they can, so we're doubly glad you find news in The Post that you en- joy. —Editor. From A Lake Boy Dear Editor: I wish to inform you of my change of address since last you've heard from me. I haven't received’ The Dallas Post since I moved from Fort Meade. The mail orderly must be keeping them till he has a few and then send them all at once. But I hope I get them soon because I don’t enjoy reading the papers around here. I like to read the home town news.

I would have sent you a change of address blank, but I haven't any. I haven't received a paper in three weeks. So I hope this letter will take the place of the change of address blank.

James Murphy Camp Forrest, Tenn. ® Martha's changed the address just to fool the mail orderly who has been holding your Posts up. —Editor. From The Navy Dear Howard: Just a note to let you know that we are still transacting business at this stand—and very thoroughly en- joying it, too. This ends my fifth week, and I find myself very con- tented "and now beginning to be at | home—at least somewhat—in my work. For the first four weeks, almost, I was in a fog. For many years back, { Howard, I have been accustomed to thinking in terms of many years ahead of the immediate, in fact, the so-called ‘‘ultimate” pattern of 25 years hence was so axiomatic to me that I felt it should be so to all and sundry. The answers to the ques- tions were almost at fingers’ tip. And now I found myself at a dis- advantage; no answers are at my finger tips, and the Washington lan- guage of alphabetical agencies holds many of the mysteries of the sphinx. But last week some of the jig saw started to drop into place. | The Navy's spirit of the service is especially most heartening to the forlorn and footsore stranger. | (“Footsore’”’, advisedly—miles of corridors!) Every one, men and women alike, is badly pressed for time— but still all have time for the amenities which oil the wheels, and all take the time to help each other out. All ranks, from top to bottom, are uniformly so consider- ate of each other—noblesse oblige I suppose. A couple of weeks ago I took a | half-hour off at noon and walked | down 17th Street from Constitution Avenue behind the Navy Building, alongside the Mirror Pool to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry blos- soms. (I have heard that they are “Korean”— which harks back to liberty cabbage of 1917.) It was a warm and balmy Spring noon, the blossoms were at their full, many uniforms gave added color, young girls walked arm-in-arm with their boys. So peaceful that it didn’t seem real. I left the office at 6 this evening so that Malvina and I could have our first dinner together. I was to meet her at Hogates (sea food) at 6:15. As a cab pulled in at the 18th Street entrance, a girl jumped in, and wanted such and such a liguor store, fast!!! It appeared that i she had 3 brothers; the one in the Navy was definitely known to have been killed in the Solomons, the two in the Army were reported to be missing in North Africa. A scant half hour before'she had a tele- gram . . . the two “missing” broth- ers had just landed in New York, were flying to Washington, and wanted: (1)—steak, (2)—chocolate, (3)—Scotch whiskey. She hopped off to take care of number three for them. No wonder she was in a dither. Next week I have my first Satur- day off. Malvina and I will spend : lat the present time we are knee- +had been working for 72 hours Apartment 512. . Sincerely, ¥ \ Bill McIntyre A | Lieut. Comma , U.S.N. Washington, D. C. eo Bill: It was swell to get your letter. Set a watch against your old neighbor, Joe Elicker. He was ! here this week, heading for Wash- | ington, Incidentally, he’s building barges for the Navy. —Editor. Here Again . . . And We come Dear Editor: Well, here I am again and from | another new address for a few | months. I have been assigned to the Ordnance Automotive School here in Omaha for a two months’ course on government vehicles. It is very interesting so far and I be- lieve I will like it very much. So far I have completed one week and deep in the subject of carburation. I am here on detached service from my outfit at Fort Snelling so I shall more than likely return there at the completion of my course. My first day of duty was quite an ‘exciting one. The Missouri Riv- er divides Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa, and it has been at a critical flood stage for the past ten days. Another military police offi- cer whom I have been with for over five months and I were detailed for flood duty. Over one thousand sol- diers and officers from Fort Crook assisted the engineers in building a 2828 Connecticut Avenue, N. W,, | to Work and Win! three mile sand-bag dike to combat the raging waters which menaced | the municipal airport. I volunteered to operate a twenty ton diesel car- ryall upon which the same operator Onions without sleep. The captain in charge asked where I had gotten experience on such machinery. I re-. plied to him, “Well, Captain, a sec- ond lieutenant is supposed to be able to do anything.” I was told that at O.C.S., but I really found it to be the truth when I was assigned to an organization in February. Since then I have been a Company Commander, a mess officer, instruc- tor, and now in school again. I hope that I can get in a unit which is headed overseas soon. This rou- tine gets a fellow’s nerve after fif- teen months. I really enjoyed Herman Kern's column “From All Of Us To You” in last week’s Post. I can only see one thing that he missed and that is that my father has the usual “spring fishing fever.” I hope you will receive this change in my address in time to get this week’s Post in Omaha on time. This Nebraska weather is nice and quite a bit warmer than that at Minneapolis. I really miss the Swedish dialect of Minnesota though and I shall be glad to get back there for a while. I must close now as Sunday af- ternoon and evening is my usual writing period. 2 Best regards to all. An old friend, Lt. Glenn A. Kitchen C.-M, P. Ordnance Automotive Sch. 22nd and Hickory Streets Omaha, Nebraska e® There are no letters more wel- come than Glenn Kitchen’s. He's got a knack of filling them full of news and making them extremely interesting. Although he didn’t say so, we know there is one thing he would like. If there is any fellow who has a hankering for fishing, we think Glenn would be pleased to have him get in touch with his dad, Amos Kitchen at Alderson. Amos can’t see as well as he once did and he ought to have a good fishing companion for these spring days. If ( you want to go after the big ones | call Harvey's Lake 3126.—Editor. Going To Bakers’ School Dear Editor: Here I am back on the job drop- ing you a few lines to let you know that I am still getting The Post and also that through it I know what goes on in and around the Dallas area, so just keep it coming. At this time I want to inform you of my change of address as I have been transferred again. Now I believe I am to start Bakers’ and Cook School to see if I can learn to cook and bake. I am going to give it a try as some time it will come in handy. You once asked for a picture of me so at this time am sending it. I am always pleased to do anything for The Post that I can. Hope you recognize me alright and like it. Now that Easter is at hand, I wish each and every one there at the press, “A Happy Easter’. Saying so long and good luck to all, I remain J Corp. Joseph J. Hudak___ Fort Benning, Georgia e Thanks for the picture, Joe, and it isn’t too late. Here's Easter greetings. ‘We talked to your. mother this week. —Editor.
