Dear Brother,
Here are a few things we are doing here. Just to give you an idea. Its quite rugged, but you know the more rugged the better I like it.
That Camp Endicott is 7 miles away and the main store is there, that’s where all the training takes place. It tells all about the Camp and what goes on in the “Seabees”. Bye now, Piney.Language
