Lecile and Joe were sitting at the bar when Lecile said, "You know, I do believe that men are a lot more loyal to their friends than women are to theirs."

"Really," replied Joe, "what makes you think that?"

"Well, about two weeks ago, my wife stayed out all night. When she came home, I asked her where she'd been, and she told me she'd been with a friend of hers. I asked her which friend, and she said, 'you don't know her.'

"So the next day, I called ten of her friends. They all said they hadn't seen her in months."

"Well, that ain't good," said Joe.

"Yep. So this last weekend, I stayed out all night. When I came home, she's waitin' at the door, and she asked me where I'd been. I told her I'd been with a friend all night. She asked me who, and I told her he was a new friend, and she didn't know him.

"So she called ten of my friends. Eight of them said I'd spent the night with them."

"Yeah," said Joe, "that's pretty loyal. What about the other two?"

"They said I was still there."

Dear Ma and Pa,

I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.

I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.

Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.

We go on 'route marches,' which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A 'route march' is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.

The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.

This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges They come in boxes.

Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake--I only beat him once--He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6' and 130 pounds and he's 6'8' and near 300 pounds dry.

Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in.

Your loving daughter,

Skyler
