San Diego 55 Calif

Dearest Mother, Dad, Toot, & Rhoda:
Well this is our second day and I can say that so far this is an OK. life. The food is marvelous—and we eat off of the plates etc. just like civilized people.
I went to see Gordie & rie geigle but he wasn’t in at the time—I’ll try again today. It looks like we will be here about 3 months so that is longer than we expected. The training won’t be very difficult but it will be interesting. We have every type of ship here you want and it really is fascination to watch them.
I still can’t get over the wonderful time I had home last week—no kidding, it was wonderful. I just wish everyone could have as good a leave.
This is a very beautiful spot and the weather is fine. A lot of sun shine and cool winds.
We have another chance to go into the air corps if we want but none of us seem to very “hot” on the idea. All of my room-mates are es-V5ers so the air Corps. is well represented here. One of my friends even has his wings but he was grounded for hedge-hopping.
I was disappointed in San Diego as a city—it is quite lousy and dirty. But if you want to come down some-time I’m sure you would enjoy it. I’ll look into the housing situation and let you know.
I hope all is well with you.
Everything is O.K. here---------
Love to you all ------
Bill
