Hi Doll,
I get $20 every 15 days. I put $10
in my wallet for the 30-day leave
I’ll have when I get out of here.
The other $10 is for smokes and beer.
Beer is only 15 cents a can
and most of the time it’s free.
Schlitz or Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Does the job though.
What has the Navy done for Mickey?
They say the service changes everyone.
One thing for sure, Nam is changing me.
I’ve never been so goddamn horny in my whole life.
Luv ya, Phil
P.S. I’ll be a Lance Corporal soon.
P.P.S. I’ll drink an extra beer for you tonight.
P.P.P.S. Maybe I should send Nancy some USO
stationery and a few pens.
