Dear Donna,

Well look where the hell I'm at and of all things going to Radar school. Well haven't head from you for quite a little while but I just got here day before yesterday don't like it too well since this is the ground force school and I am a air corp man. Well there isn't much to write about school is pretty hard so far since I did not go very far in school don't really think I can make it but I asked to come not so much for the school and since you are such a cute little girl I can't explain ha. Well I might as well ask me for what you want in Japanese stuff.
