Thurs Morn
Dear Wilma and Bill:
My address is changing again tomorrow so I thought I better write again.
I’m being transferred to a different CASU unit tomorrow I don’t know exactly where they are but they’re along the coast here somewhere.
There is several of us getting moved and we can’t figure out why because weve already got our packs and jungle clothing.
One never knows why the Navy does things though.
I’ll drop you a card when I get down there. I think I get transferred more than anybody in the Navy but at lease I don’t have time to get tired of one place.
Ive got to write a letter to Mom so I guess I better stop.
Love
Elmer
