Nile Kinnick diary of service in the U.S. Naval Reserve Air Corps, December 3, 1941-February 25, 1942

Page 109

Feel rather low tonight - so much to do & so little time. Seems as if I have been hurrying all my life. Gets kind of old sometimes.
We were told today that our class leaves for Pensacola on Mon, 2/16 - just a week away. That means we are going to be shot through with all possible haste. It looks as if I won't even have time for my personal correspondence - and look how poorly I am writing up my diary these days. The battlefront is coming closer for us prospective aviators. Almost before we know it we will be in the thick of it. Sometimes I wonder what it all means. But I know of no honorable course except ahead and through. May God be with me.
Tuesday - Feb. 10.
Go, go, go, all the time - from dawn till dark. No time for anything except study & classes. Radio not going too well. Did pass the checkout test in Physics with a 3.4 which relieves me of going to class for two weeks - will help some. Navigation thus far
