Dear Mollye:—
In my closing weeks of Sound Material, I am kept busy, and I do mean busy. They give you tests every day, and twice on Saturdays. School eight hours a day, study two hours at nite. No fun!
In addition to all this, I am second-in-charge of a brand new half-million dollar swimming pool, 105 by 50 feet. I am flabbergasted every time I go there.
This Navy life seems to agree with me, in some respects. I have gained fourteen pounds and now weigh almost 160. Boy! Am I healthy? No wonder Florida has no germs around. They must all die of exhaustion.
I had a very nice, albeit lonesome Xmas eve. I spent it with a wealthy Cuban family.
They have a daughter—a bee-u-ti-ful babe—to say the least. Oh! yes, Navy life is all right.
Regards to everyone, especially you, Mollye.
Ralph Biloon
