stuck out like a hustle, or tt
throw my chest out so far that
looked like a pigeon. If I stooc
at attention for more than so Sc.
conds at stretch, there would be
about Is places on my body that
needed scratching.
Relax, but don't slump" the
sergeant said. Don't be afraid
to stand still; nobody is going to
bite YOU" Maybe not, but I Of
ten had to bite my tongue in or
der to restrain myself from
knocking a fly off my nose.
Sounds Easy
Right FACE: The idea is to
raise the left heel and the right
toe slightly, just enough to clear
the ground; then, by pressing with
the ball of the left foot, turn the
body to the right, keeping the
left leg straight but not stiff,
bring the left heel alongside the
right one-and there you are. Or
are you? The first time did it
I was facing to the left instead of
the right.
About FACE: Executed by
placing the right toe a little way
behind the left foot and a bit to
the left of it. The exact position
you will discover only after ex-
Fermentation. Then raise the
left toe and simply pivot on the
left heel toward the right, bring
your heels together, and you
should find yourself facing in the
opposite direction. But I could
have used a compass the first
time I tried it.
Forward MARCH,: There's
little trick to this. Close order
drill is carried on entirely by O.
raj command of the leader of the
unit which is drilling. Each COM
mand is gifen in two parts: the
preparatory command and the
command of execution. Thus:
Forward is the preparatory COM
mand, to warn you of what is a.
bout to happen. MARCH is the
command of execution; you func-
ton instantly on hearing it.

Parker News

This mountain section is exper-
fencing the most extensive drou-
ght in its history. The precipit-
alton for April amounted to only
1.25 inches which was 2.65 inches
below normal, while the precipi-
tation for 1941 was 1903 below
normal which with the light rain
fall since the first of the year
leaves the ground with a defici-
ency of moisture that will prove
disastrous to crop growth unless
we have a more abundant rainfall
in the very near future. Pastures
are only approximately 40 per-
cent of normal and small grains
were winter-killed to a great ex-
tent which coupled with the pres
ent defici encH of moisture has
reduced prospects to about a so
percent of normal crop. While it
is too early to predict the out
come of the fruit crop at this time
but judging from the bloom the
crop will be light.

CLOSE ORDER DRILL

Why all this drilling? Battle!
are not won by close formations
these days, nor were they even ir
Biblical days. Why doesn't the
army cut out all this ceremonial
stuff and get down to something
practical? Combat formation.
are what win fights.
That's true. They are the
grown-up formations; but close
order formations are the baby
steps and you don't learn to rur
until you have learned how tc
walk.
It is with just such an answer
that the army attempts to justify
so much drilling, war or no war
and my company commander at
Camp Forrest, Tenn, went ahead
to elaborate:
"Close order drill-or precision
drill with men formed in ranks
has two chief functions: to get
group of men from one place
to another in the shortest time
and without confusion, and to
train soldiers quickly to co-ordin-
ate mind and body"
Groundwork For Combat
Until you have learned to do
that, our captain continued, you
are not ready for advanced train
ing. Close order drill is not an
end in itself; it merely develops
the mechanism on which combat
training is based. Combat train
ing is the goal. The better your
close order drill, the better your
grounding in combat training.
Close order drill today is much
simplified-a lot easier than 1t
was for me at Oak Ridge Military
Institute six or seven years ago
and leads directly into combat
formations.
A secondary function Of close
order drill is that it developes a
smart-looking company or regl-
ment. That, in turn, builds mo-
rale. When you see the ranks
swinging by, arms and legs in
cadence, rifles at the proper ang-
lie, chests up and eyes to the
front, somehow you get the feel
ing that group has what it takes
to do great things.
Before I drilled in squad or
platoon had to learn how to drill
as an individual, how to be pre-
else and prompt in the elemen-
tary movements. This elemen-
tary training was called the
school of the soldier" 1t, and
all subsequent close order drill,
was contained in the Soldiers
Handbook, a copy of which ev-
cry soldier in the infantry pos
sesses. Few soldiers, however,
have learned drill out of a book,
and most of them pick it up on
the parade ground.
Those Positions
During our first few weeks at
Camp Forrest we new men would
stand in front of the latrine mir
rors. assume the various elemen-
tary positions, and try to perfect
our technique. Here are some OF
them:
ATTENTION, or position of
the soldier: You stand with your
heels together and your feet turn
ed out at an angle of As degrees.
You keep your knees together,
but you don't let your knee joints
lock. If your knees lock, the cir
culation of the blood will be i'm
paired and you stand a good
chance of fainting after long
period at attention. Your hips
must be drawn back slightly and
your dhest slightly Fitted and
arched, with head erect and chin
square. Your hands hang natur-
ally at your sides with thumbs a.
long the seams of your trousers.
