 was called in May and went to Camy Pike for training There l went through all the prellmin- ary work and right here l guess would be a good time to pause and tell of some of that prelim- mary work
 First We all took an eXamlna- ton and they found out about all there was to find out about us.
 They have an accurate discrlp- ton of every boy that was Tn the service with his bea allon meas urements. his scars. his finger prints and any other dope that will help to identify him all filed away somewhere for they sure got it on us. Were the entrance examination blanks available at all times there would be no eed of the identification tags. Right where they examined us they vaccinated Us for small pox and measured us for clothes. Some times that day and sometimes the next day they took us down and gaveus a shot" for typhoid.
 But this all begins too soon for the old veterans would tell us as We came in about how the army life was and just how many of us would die before We got thru with the shots. Then when the rockies" took the shots they were generally so badly scared they would really hurt.
 1 hod common sense enough to know that the Government wa s not going to hurt us very bad so I wasn't hurt much until the second inoculation when, already having $ bad cold and my vac cination swelling too. l was sent to the hospital ou account of II. l went t0 the inflrmarv at sick call (about S o'clock) and from there 10 the receiving station base hospital.and having the same amount of red tape to go at each place l was com pletely tired out when l got there and when 1 arriN ed al the ward 1 had a temperature of l0i. That as l saw 1t was the worst curse of the army. You always had to wait on the red tape to do any thing anu l think that was large ly responsible for the large cas- uality lists from the flu" last fall. By time the patients got to where they could be treated they were exhausted and hadnt { vitality to resist the disease. | will tell about the stay m the hospital next time.
 There was a large waiting list for uniforms so IL was two ar three days after We were meas ured before We were fitted out and fitted out" is sure the word for it for very few of the boys got good fits. We would go to the Q. NJ sheds anu the old measurement sheets were not used for the individual.
