15 (?) MORE DAYS!!
Most everyone here thinks we’ll be in El Toro by the 22nd. I sure hope so.
I got cookies today and they are the best ones yet!! They got here in only six days so they are very fresh.
Since I’m a standby crewman from here to Hawaii, I can’t leave Chu Lai until all the planes have left. I will fly if someone gets sick, etc. I hope we can get all the planes out of here on the 10th, so I can leave also!!
We had steaks at the mess hall tonight and I ate two. They were so good. Right now I’m stuffing myself with cookies! Ha.
I flew for 4 hours today! All at one time. And my seat was numb, literally, when we got back. It was a test flight. That’s not as long, however, as it’ll take to fly from Hawaii to El Toro. That leg will take over 6 hours. That’s a long time to sit still, not use bathroom, etc. But it’s well worth it.
