Genfclenen:
I have received fchroe copies of the "Hoover Hail” end thoroajhly-
enjoyed each and every one. I an now stationed at Chanute Field,111,,
and follovdng is a brief account of ny life here,-
We arrived here seven ;vecks a go, fron liiarii, Fla. 130 strong. (Dur
second day vje wore put to vrork in a large building which had a sign out
front, saying "General Moss Ko. 3". There were also General Hesses No*
1, 2, and 4. I learned to Icnow then vjcU in the next few weeks and the
longer I v/orked in then, the nore general the ness becansi We did K*P.
every other day and our Sergeant gave us outside detail on alterna te
days to keep us out in the healthful fresh a ir. One day the Major
drafted us fron the Sergeant and had us spread gravel over the road. The
Lajor was a Ilastor Sergeant for 15 years. It is runored that then is when
he learned all his bad habits. Tho'liajor and Sergeant wore so intent on
keeping us busy with healthful work, that I aonentarily expected to be put
to w ork cutting grass w ith snovj on the ground.
Now, all that is changed. I on attending the Link Trainer Instructor
School and I no longer have those "irksone details," The wisdon of letting
new non pull K*P. and general duty is plainly apparent. The Sergeant and
the Major are really fine follows, regular gentlenen, in fact*
This Link Trainer is a wonderful thing. It has autonatic bank with
turn, turn with banl;, and automtic nose drop v/ith turn, lifter a few weeks,
I had cold with aubOi'.ntic nose drip. Yes, the Link Trainer is a narvellous
thing.
The .’aT-Ty is roallj’’ a s;vell place to be, and I cannot recoimend it too
highly, To anyone about to enter it. Congratulations, atid be sure to try
to get into the Air Corps - it is exceedingly interesting.
Surely e njoyed reading all the boys* letters in the "Hoover R''il."
It's a great way to keep up with our friends.
Best wishes to all,
Sincerely,
Pvt, J.L. Osborne, Jr.
Chanute Field, 111.
