I want you to let me enlist. I have learned quite a lot while I've been here and am mighty certain I can pass the examinations for the aviation section of the signal corps of the U. S. army. I've decided that I can do a whole lot more good in active service than at Annapolis. I will enlist as a first-class private in the signal corps and would be sent to the ground school at Berkeley for 10 weeks at a pay of $100 per month and a grub allowance of 75 cents per day. Finishing there I would be sent to the flying school at Fort Worth, Texas, for four months and then commissioned as a lieutenant in the aviation corps at a salary of $2000 per year and an additional 25 percent for all time spent in flying or service abroad. After getting a commission I'd be allowed a three weeks' furlough and then sent Victor L. Chaney, South Troy, coast artillery.
