Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope you are. Tell big brothers Sean, Paddy and Mick that
the Army is better than working on the farm and tell them to get in here
quick before the jobs are all gone.
I was a bit slow in settling down at first, because you don't get outta
bed until 6am. I like sleeping in now, but all you do before brekky is
make your bed and shine your boots and clean your uniform. No cows to
milk, no calves to feed, no feed to stack---nothing. Men must shave,
but its not so bad, coz there's hot water and a light to see what ya doing.
Breakfast has cereal, fruit and eggs but there's no fillet steaks or
sausages. You don't get fed again until noon, and by that time all the
city boys are buggered because we've been on a 'route march', just like
walking to the well in the meadow.
This will kill Sean and Paddy with laughter. I keep getting medals for
shooting. Dunno why cos the bullseye is as big as a bloody bull's head
and it doesn't move and it's not firing back at you like the Johnsons
did when our bull got their cow pregnant before the Ballinasloe show.
All you gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target.
Piece of p*ss. You don't even load your own cartridges. They comes in boxes
and you don't have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the
tractor when you reload.
Then you gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful
cos they break easy. It's not like fighting with Sean, Paddy, Mick and
all the other local fellas all at once like we do. Turns out I'm not a
bad boxer either and it looks like I'm the best the platoon's got, and
I've only been beaten by this guy from Dublin. He's 6 foot 8 and 120
kilos and I'm 5 foot six and 65 kilos, but I fought to the end.
I can't complain about the Army. Tell the boys to get in quick before
word gets around how good it is.
Your loving daughter,
Siobhan
