Well, it goes by points, so 1 heard a little while ago that they were giving extra points for sea duty, so I guess that will let us out, for anyone has to have 44 points to get out. So with my sea and foreign * service duty that gives me about 46 points, so it looks like I will probably win this time. I am almost sure that if things go right that-I wiU- be at home by Christmas, although I am so far away from there now. “I sure will be glad tq get out. for this sea duty is really hard on anyone, for out here we are on duty most all of the time seven days a week, and standing duty four hours every night, sc you cas see it Is Just a little tough, and I have had Just a little better than two years of It. “How is dad making out?
