Letters To Home - May 20, 1951

Fort Benning, Georgia
May 20, 1951

The only units left on Sand Hill are the 44th Field Artllery (us) and a tank group over on the other hill. Will leave Thursday morning, headed for Camp Kilmer, New Jersey and should arrive there Friday.

Went swimming this afternoon at the main post, in the largest pool I've ever seen.

Still no training being done. Never thought I'd want to do any training, but life is quite dull without the other outfits here.

When we move out, a colored airbourne unit will be moving in. Some have arrived already; all quite large, in fine shape and mostly pleasant.

The word is that we'll be riding Pullmans on the trip north.
