Dear United States Army:

 

My husband asked me to write a recommend that he supports his family. He cannot read, so don't tell him. Just take him. He ain't no good to me. He ain't done nothing but raise hell and drink lemon essence since I married him eight years ago, and I got to feed seven kids of his. Maybe you can get him to carry a gun. He's good on squirrels and eating. Take him and welcome. I need the grub and his bed for the kids. Don't tell him this, but just take him.

That's okayBader---- We know better. Also you are still a captain in our books.

 

Wonder what the requirements are to get Papa Art (cadetat6) back in the service. His two daughters would love to ditch him somewhere. They say his keeping late hours, drinking, and carousing with shady women, has them at their wits end. Ive tried my best to turn him around, but he needs a much stronger discipline.

Maybe other readers can forward their viewpoints. We, his friends, would be most grateful.

Now watch him wiggle out of this. He has been known to shade the truth on numerous occaisions. Also; the Service should have very little trouble, if any, molding him to their way of doing things, since he is, as we suspect, well into his second childhood. I just hope that if they do accept him, they keep him out of airplanes. He has been known to land on the wrong Freewa--- I mean runway.
