Dear Folks,

Finished mailing everything yesterday. Mailed the USAFI course and the tape recorder in the morning and the cassette player in the afternoon.

Sxxxxxx is leaving today. I don't think he's going straight home though. From what I understand he has to spend some time at the Drug abuse holding center at Long Binh. That's why he's leaving a couple days early. He must have been caught by that test we took the other evening. I kind of suspected it but there wasn't much I could do. I haven't seen him very much in the last six months.

I finished off a roll of film yesterday and took it too Nick's. I think before I leave I'll get about 10 rolls of film at the PX. I can get it a lot cheaper here than back home. 15 DTG.

Rick
