Hi Cheryl,

How are things?

I’m sitting in my hole,

trying to stay awake,

wondering where the war is.

I’ve learned two things:

Never take off your boots

unless you’re showering.

Never turn in your M-16 once

it’s drawn from the armory.

Well, I ain’t visited a shower in days.

Think I’ll risk it. Gunther has hotel soap from

his leave in Thailand. It smells like pretty girls,

warm feelings.

As always_______ _______ !!! Phil

P.S. Marines requisition about anything,

even Kotex. Great bandages, helmet pads,

slathering BBQ sauce on pigs.
