4 DEC 19699Dear Mom and Dad,
I am 15 miles South of Pleiku on a small fire base we built our self. It is used for two 155mm towed
howitzers as a fire base. We are given the job to secure it. A real easy job and a nice break for us.
The only drawback is the dust. The monsoon is over here and we are on a plain of fine red dust. It gets
into everything. The wind blows 24 hours a day and keeps it stirred up. At night you freeze to death
and in the daytime you roast. That hot chocolate sure comes in handy. Hot at night and as a cool
chocolate milk in the heat of the day.
I would like to know if you had enough to pay off the car payments and if so, how my bank statement looks.
Also, be advised I have sent home the following money orders: Tear stubs up if you have received money
orders.
