21 August 1953
"Well school officially started today for me. I have plenty of homework to do now. I just finished the evening meal. Had roast beef, watermelon, raddishes, onions, soup. No potatoes as they are fattening...I think I will go over later and have some hash marks sewed on my white jumper. I have to have everything up to snuff by the time I leave here...Most of the fellows are gone for the weekend but I have to go back to school tomorrow morning to learn about teletype machines. All this work is very interesting to me. It may help me make chief someday...P.S. Can you read my writing?"
