Dear Kathleen,
Yes, I've been moved and it all happened so fast that I've not been able to catch my second breath as yet. We were told last Friday morn. to pack and that evening at 6 PM we were on our way here. We got into town here about 7 PM. Sunday we spent sleeping and today they have had me working in supply. I'm supposed to take charge of a ward they are opening up or one in which the ward master leaves for a lot of the old fellows are due to leave shortly.
Now my dear I shall try to answer what you are wondering about. I still have hope of getting my furlough in Dec. at least what's what I was told this morn. and I shall remind them of it Kathleen.
I fear I won't like it around here as our quarters are very poor and get very cold as we have coal stoves and our bath facilities are located in another bldg separate from our barracks.
It is also very smoky around here which is very disagreeable. We do eat very well around here. For one thing we get all the milk we want. If and when I start working it will be eight hours a day six days a week. A married fellow can live off the post six nites a week but must be on the post Friday nite and when ever he pulls C. 2 in my case.
I'm working in Unit Supply at the present time but that will only be temporary. That about sums up things as I see them but perhaps there are some things I've forgotten which you might like to know so feel free to ask me. I think I shall try and phone you tonite and let you know where I'm at.
Good-nite and pleasant dreams till we hear from one another
With Love,
Milan
P.S. They seem to be breaking up Mac Dill Field for 53 medics were due to leave Sunday for Infantry and more the first of the month.
