Chapter Two
Justin felt sometimes that he was worthless and other time like now he felt worthwhile and could do something meaningful.
It was nice of the Lt. to give him a compliment on how was taking care of the planes. As he set in the mess hall his eyes looked around. Some of the pilots have given him attitude toward his work on the planes. He also new that the lieutenant was someone he could look up to. As he was thinking these things a voice rang out. “Mail Call!”
He let the guy call out all the names that were getting mail. He knew he would certainly not get one. His brother Thomas and him had words not after he left for the Academy and after he got his assignment on this carrier.
“Justin Burnett” the voice called out. Justin was stunned. Who would be writing me! He walked up and took the envelope from the Lt. Commander, then went back to his seat to read the letter. He was surprised it was from Thomas. He opened it up and read:
Dear Justin,
I am sorry for our last parting! I will support you as serve our country!
I met a girl today. She was standing looking out at the ocean like I was and wanted to introduce myself to her. Her name is Adelle. She says her brother is serving as well, and is a SEAL in the Navy.
Adelle and I are going out on our first date together this weekend. She will be letting her brother about me.
How is the LT.? I am glad he taking such good care of my baby brother. Tell him thank you from me will you.
Frank is doing well. The company has told him he could be VP someday, so as any dreamer he is working toward that.
Well write when you have chance.
I love you baby brother,
Your loving brother,
Thomas
Justin knew that he needed to write to Thomas but he also knew that he needed to get on the deck and help with getting the F-4's ready for the next run. He shook his head. He'll get to the letter writing later, right now he had a job to do.
Just as he was about to get up the lieutenant that he admired The Lt. He admired so much came through the door of the mess hall. He was tall as pilots go. He also knew that he might have broken a few hearts when he got married to his wife. The Lt let him see a picture of his wife and son not to long ago.
Justin got up and started toward to the door, as he got to the door. The Lt. Called “Hey Burnett, nice job on keeping the plane a oiled machine. It is running great!”
“Thank you, sir. I have to go to start my shift, sir. I will see you later, sir.”
“Yes you will! Keep up the good work!”
One of my buddies walked with me to the deck. He in incredulous voice he exclaimed, “Justin you know who that is you were just talking to?”
“Yeah, he's a pilot. I work on his plane. Why?”
“Burnett, you were just talking to 'Hammer' he is the best pilot there is! And if you are getting compliments like that from him, then you have just joined the club of the 'little brother' program. He helps the guys that have a hard time on carrier. You should be proud to call him your friend. He is the best there is!”
'Yep he is' I thought. And I was glad to be called friend and 'brother' among them. Justin and his buddy went to the deck and got to work.
Chapter Three
AJ arrived at his tent tired and worn out. This war was making little boy out of men pretty fast. He was glad that today was mail call he was looking forward to getting mail from home. As he sat that remembering today's events. He had lost three under his command and new that he would have to send letters home to their families.
As he was thinking over what he needed to write to each family he heard the loud voice that shouted “Mail Call”. As AJ listened to each being called he wondered his mother and sister were doing today. He was brought back to the present when three of the officers he lost today were called out. AJ got up from where he was sitting and very reverently picked up the letters. He hated sending letters back and letters home to families that the soldiers had written. Then all of a sudden he heard “Chedwiggen” and went to get the letter or letters from.
When he reached to get the letter he noticed that there was two. He got back to his tent and looked over both letters one was from his sister and one was from his mother. The one from his mother would wait until he had enough time to absorb everything that was happening at home. Instead he decided to open the letter from his sister.
Dear AJ,
I've started dating again. Thank you for giving me the encouragement to that again.
You might be startled by the return address that is on this envelope but I wanted to let you know that I have a job at the O-Club helping out with the wives of all the men who are serving in the war.
I've started dating again. Thank you for giving me the encouragement to that again. His name is Thomas Burnett. He works as a mechanic at Chrysler. He brother Frank is his superior, but luckily for Thomas, Frank and him work well together. We have been dating for about 2 weeks now.
It will be Christmas time soon. Hope you guys are celebrating!
Take Care AJ and give the guys a high five for me when you see them for working so hard to make our country free.
Your loving sister,
Adelle
AJ would answer his sisters’ letter as well as his mothers’ letter as soon as he got back from his assignment. But first he would write a little to each family that just lost a loved one under his command.
