It indicates he is a sanitätsfahrer in the Bavarian Field Hospital 127.
Is it correct to translate the literal "sanitary driver" as ambulance driver?

Hey fellas,
I know this letter is pretty long and boring, but it was my great grandfathers when he was in Russia. Could anyone take the time to translate this one? If its too long even a summary would be great...
unfortunately i cannot get better scans of the back side (my grandmothers scanner was annoying enough...)
thanks in advance

Page 2: begins with him saying they had to eat some low-grade bread with the good tea they had. (this scan is a bit harder to read, as it's smaller)

I think I can help Hank a bit with the translated of the word "Päckchenmarke"
(not "Päckchenkarte" !).
A Päckchenmarke was like a stamp which allowed the soldier to sent/receive parcels.

Liebe Eltern und Gunther

Sind jetzt aber noch nicht wo wir hin mussen. Wir haben hier eine Hitzl(?) das ganz arg ist. Nun für heute schluss und alles gute euer Sohn Basti.
Recht viele Grüsse an alle Nachbarn recht viele Grüsse an Kibs(?) (2 other names?) Auf Wiedersehen!
Dear Parents and Gunther, just wanted to write a quick letter. I'm healthy and doing well. Hope the same for you. We've been traveling 8 days and still not at destination, couldn't write during that time. We're having (or experiencing) a (not sure what the word "hitzl" is...maybe it's "hitze", or heatwave) that's really something. I'll close now for today. Your son, Basti. Heartfelt greetings on all the neighbors and (some named friends).
2nd letter: Really about the same thing...he confirms receiving 4 letters from them. Still a heatwave...10 days underway...he saw alot underway...almost the same as first letter.
best
