BINEGAR ENJOYS LIFE IN MARINES

Pvt. Warren H. Binegar reports favorably upon life in the Marines in a letter from San Diego, Calif.

"I like this Marine life fine and they really give us plenty to eat and it is plenty good also. They treat us pretty tough but that is expected of the Marines.

"In this Boot Camp, you have to say just what you mean in the least amount of words. We can't have candy, gum, or pop. We never get to leave the camp until our seven weeks are up and until that time we have a non com over our heads all the time, and we can't do anything until we are told."
