Aviation Cadet James Chellis has now completed his second full day here at R.P.I. This morning after breakfast we heard a few more speeches and saw more pictures. I imagine you are wondering what these pictures have to do with our training. Don't worry - they don't show Buck Jones, Lana Turner, or Clark Gable. Most of them have to do with drilling. They made a few pictures down at Annapolis illustrating the various types of turns, marches and other drills. We have seen a few pictures about other training we will go through in the Naval Air Corp.
This afternoon we marched over to the airport. After I finish my three months here I am assigned to another college for C.A.A.W.T.S. ( figure it out yourself). There is a possibility that I might stay here for that training. I guess that's why we went to see the boys fly today. The fellows were all hepped up to see the planes.
Last night our room had it's first run-in with the officers. About fifteen minutes after we were suppose to be asleep, one of the characters in the room was telling jokes and naturally we were laughing like madmen. Suddenly in comes the officer of the day, Boy, did he let off steam. Everything turned out OK.
I was thining that I had better send you a diagram of my room.
This is a rough schetch. Of course there are a couple of chairs throuwn around someplace.
Taps blows in a few minutes so I will say
Good-night
Jim
