preceding Lesson: l. Your Post OF
honor.)
The National Army, In which you
are to take your place, truly expresses
the American character and ideals. 1t
is a great democratic army. 1t in
cludes men Of all degrees of wealth
and education, chosen through fair
and open selection by lot. All are
brought together on terms of equality
There has been and there will be In
this great National Army no favorit-
ism and no pull" The poor man
will drill side by side with the man
who has been raised in luxury. Each
will learn from the other. The place
each man makes for himself will be
determined by his own work and abil-
ity.
Developing Soldierly Qualities
The question as to whether it is bet
ter to Join the colors now or with a
later contingent is not worth arguing,
since the decision has been made for
each man by lot. An ambitious man,
however, will be glad to join now. 1t
gives him a better chance for promo
ton. The commissioned officers of
the first contingent are picked men
who have voluntarily gone through
the hardest kind of training. The Of
ficers of later contingent" will be
drawn largely from the men listed
in the fist contingents. There is
plenty Of opportunity here for every
man to Sse his brains and his energy
and to earn promotion according to
his worth, This does not mean easy
or quick advancement 1t means only
that you will have your fair chance
and you would ask for nothing more

Loyalty

Loyalty
A soldiers loyalty governs, first of
all, his feelings and actions toward
his country, his government and his
flag. There can be no such thing as
halfway loyalty. The slightest COM
promise opens the door to treason.
But soldiers loyalty does not stop
here. 1t governs also his feelings and
actions toward the army and toward
all the officers under whom he serves.
1t absolutely forbids dsobedience
among both officers and enlisted men,
or disrespect toward those in author
ity.
Going step farther, loyalty gov
erns also the soldiers feelings and
actions toward his own regiment, his
own company and his own squad.
Without this form of loyalty there can
be no real comradeship; without it
you will never feel that personal pride
and satisfaction in the service which
should mean so much in your army
life.
Obedience
The second of the soldiers basic
qualities is obedience, based on dis
cipline. Without obedience and dis
cipline an army can not long continue
to exist; it will quickly degenerate in
to an armed mob. AS the Infantry
Drill Regulations put it, discipline is
the distinguishing mark of trained
troops"
Frequently the recruit, with his in
born dislike Of being bossed, makes
the mistake during his first few weeks
in the army Of resenting the fact that
Immediate and unquestioning obed-
fence is required of him. He quickly
learns, however, that obedience en-
forced throughout the army is in all
situations the chief safeguard of the
rights, the comfort and the safety of
every man, from the raw recruit to
the commanding general 1t is a
guarantee that the small number of
unruly or cowardly men to be found
in every group shall be kept in check
and forced to comply with rules made
for the benefit Of all.
Military discipline is always imper-
sonal. Obedience is required not
merely Of you, but of every man in the
army. 1t Is required of officers by
their superiors with fully as much
strictness as it is required of you. 1t
will become your duty, whenever you
are given authority over other men, to
demand from them the same full
measure of obedience that others will
require of you.
Discipline is not only essential in
developing the army. but also in de-
veloping your own character as a SOL
der. "The soldier who is by nature
brave, will by discipline become
Drawer"
Physical Fitness
The third basic quality. physical fit
ness, is so essential that large part
OF the time devoted to your training
Will be spent in building it up. Physi-
cal fitness includes not only muscular
development but good health and en-
durance as we'll. 1t is a quality which
every man who passes the physical
examinations can develop In himself
by reasonable care and by obedience
to instructions. This Is a subject
more fully discussed in a later les
son.
