Update on Robbie

Dear Family,

After a successful basic training, Airman Robert Haglund has graduated from a bunk bed with 27 other roommates to a bunk bed with just one roommate. It’s not the Ritz, but the location is hard to beat – on a bluff overlooking Monterey Bay. He’s already signed up for SCUBA training and a personal trainer, generously provided by the Air Force at no cost to RFH. He also gets four meals a day, so he’ll have to keep up the training regime to stay at his fighting weight of 172.

He’ll be at the Defense Language Institute for 60+ weeks of Arabic and then gets to go back to Texas for five months for cryptology training at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, Texas. As Robbie’s Lackland AFB branch president said, it’s not the edge of the earth but you can see it from there (Pres. Hetzel is from Santa Ana, Texas, population 1,200, in the same part of West Texas).

You can send e-mail to him at:

Regular mail (cards, cookies, etc.) should be sent to:

Robert Haglund
443 Chaplain Magsig Avenue
Box 3184
Presidio of Monterey, CA 93944.

Love to you all from Robbie and the rest of the Foxboro gang,

BHH
