the men are telling of the way the tetanus shot is administered and the reactions of the more timid is great listening. Memories of these days will make interesting retelling sometime.
Am getting a yen to join the Marine Corps & fly fighters. I wonder if that is where I will end up.
Saturday - Mar. 7
Routine class work plus some more shotgun shooting out at the range. Still couldn't hit those clay pigeons at all - very sad!
My blue uniform was delivered by White & White today. It fits pretty well, I believe. Plan to get into town one of these nights and give the city of Pensacola a "gander."
Played bridge after supper. Am getting a little better and enjoy playing very much.
Sunday - Mar. 8.
Up late, read my lesson, studied a little, looked through the Readers Digest, napped and played bridge. Wish Sunday came around oftener.
