"The
radio is over in the other corner of the barracks, the announcer is saying
something about Navy Day so believe I'll write to the Navy to-night.
"Mother
writes that the Boomington folks are expecting you home on a liberity. You should have lots to write
about.
"I
was expecting a furlough but it seems the army considers winter maneuvers more
important for the time being."

Letter from Dale Sooter, Camp Rucker, Ala., to my father, Cape Girardeau, Mo.,
Wednesday, October 27, 1943. My father
was on his first leave home from Navy duty, when Dale, his cousin and an army private, wrote this.
