we were down here. The only Dr. O'Brien I can recall was killed about 2 years ago or so. I must know this fellow, however.
Thursday - April 30
Didn't get any instruction today either, McCroskey not having returned from cross country.
Test in voice procedure tomorrow - don't know straight up about it. Sure am fed up with ground school.
Don't know what I am going to do for a white uniform tomorrow. Impossible to go to the Commandant's without whites. Mine were ordered sometime ago, but haven't yet arrived. Will try to borrow a set from someone.
Friday - May 1
Got my final instruction today. Gave him a pretty fair ride, but am going to have work on those S turns to circle. Told McCroskey I'd have a brother down in the fall & sure would like to have him get Ben for a student. Said he would keep his eye open for him.
