From Our Boys In The Service
U. S. Army Air Corps
Maxwell Field, Ala.
Sept. 23 1942
Dear Howard:
Since I joined the army I have
been liking it swell and I have no
“kicks” yet. Of course a soldier
does not have as many privileges
as a civilian but that is all un
derstood.
I am at Maxwell Field, just for
my basic training which I am re
ceiving now. We only have to
drill four hours a day and we
have inspection every day. We
have to be up at five o’clock in
the morning and lights are out
at night at ten o'clock. About
three-quarters of the men here
are Yankees.
I guess I had better be closing
for it is time for chow.
Sincerely,
Herbert B. Adams

Hello, Mr. Wilson,
About two months ago or maybe
three months, you had an article
in The Herald about me, George
M. Moore, completing training at
Norfolk, and waiting for service
school.
I have finished school which was
a Diesel School in Richmond, Va.
Upon finishing I was given a ra
ting of a first class fireman which
is equal to a sergeant in the army.
At present I am stationed at
Norfolk Navy Yard in the Am
phibians Force.
We take exercise every day to
build our muscles so we will be
able to really fight when we go
over.
I read the Herald nearly every
week and have been for the past
few months. A friend of mine
sends me one nearly every week.
You have no idea how much I
enjoy reading it.
A friend,
George M. Moore
Amph. Force, Barracks A-ll-D-2
Norfolk Navy Yard,
Norfolk, Va.
