Sunday

Dear Jean:

We are now on the way to Guam. Guam is a small island about 5400 miles west & a little south of San Franciso. We are now quite close to the 180th maridian line. Yesterday was Friday & today is Sunday because we lost a day when we crossed th eline. That's the first six day week I've ever had but coming back we will get an 8 day week.

Dear Jean:   

I received your letter yesterday & also heard from Jeanette. It takes about two weeks to get any mail out here unless it just happens to make the right connections.    

So far I like the S.L.C. much better than the Idaho The only thing is I'll miss out on leave this fall but I guess I had better save my money if I want to go out of the Navy. Last year it cost me $210 for that leave I had. But I sure had fun.
