L045d

After we leave here they
say we will go on a training
ship which has the Admiral
of the Asatic Fleet on it.

There is a gold braid come in
from a ship in about 30 minutes
and they are making us all
pick up a shovels and rake to
make believe we are busy.

A gold braid is a comissioned
officer maybe this one will
be a high muck-a-muck for
all we know. Yesterday I was
in a gang that had to shellac
the floor in a ward of one of
the hospitals. There is not
much more to tell and hoping evey
one is well since I was home.
Write as soon as you can
address it to the station and
if I am on a ship they will
send it from there.

With love to all
Ramon
