'After had mailed the letter tthe

Just appeared like a fellow and a

didn't notice anything strange, but
when l got to the corner, I looked
back. l just thought maybe I'd
take the number of the car.

CHAPTER 1

If were giving advice to the boys
who have already been called into
the Army and will 60 away in few
days, I'd sum it all up in this:
"Paint the town red for the rest of
your civilian week. Pay no atten-
ton to the advice that is being
poured into your defenseless ears for
twenty-four hours a day. Form an
idea of what Army life is going to
be like. Leave your mind open"
Two weeks from now, you will be
thoroughly disgusted with your new
job. You will have been herded
from place to place, you will have
wandered in nakedness and bewil-
derment through miles of physical
examination, you will look upon pri-
vacy and individuality as things you
left behind you in a golden civilian
society.
Probably you will have developed
a murderous hatred for at least one
sergeant and two corporals. You
will writhe and fume under what you
consider brutality and sadisn, and
you will wonder how an enlightened
nation can permit such atrocity in
its army. Take it easy, brother;
take it easy.
Keep this one beam Of radiant
hope constantly before you: The first
three weeks are the hardest.
For those first three-or possibly
four-weeks, you will bear the great
est part of the painful process Of
adjusting yourself to an altogether
new routine. In those first three
weeks you will get almost the full
required dose of confusion and mis-
cry. You will be afraid to leave
your barracks lest the full wrath Of
the war department fall upon you.
The midland journal., 1943-07-09

"You don't get anywhere by buy
ing soda pop or beer for your SER
geant."
You will find yourself unbelievably
awkward and clumsy when you try
to learn the drills and the knowledge
of this awkwardness will make you
even more awkward. Unless you
relax you can be very unhappy dur
ing those first three weeks.
When you are assigned to your
basic training center you'll really
get into it. You'll drill and drill, a
little more each day, and when the
sergeant tries to correct or advise
you, you'll want to tear his throat
out with your bare hands. You'll
be sick of the sound of his voice
before an hour has passed. The
only comfort / can give you is the
knowledge that the poor sergeant is
having helluva time too. He knows
what you're thinking and he can't
do anything about it.
You'll be inoculated against small
pox, typhoid, tetanus, yellow fever,
pneumonia, and practically all the
other ills that flesh is heir to. You'll
be taught foot drill, the handling of
q rifle, the use of the gas mask. the
peculiarities of military vehicles,
and the intricacies of military cour-
tesy.
Most of what you are taught will
impress you as utterly useless nom
sense, but you'll learn it.
You'll be initiated into the mys-
teries Of the kitchen police, proba-
bly, before you've been IN the Army

The bus station on that morning
in July was pathetic picture. Four
large groups Of boys, reconciled to
the grim and gruesome life ahead
of them, were bade farewell by wall
ing mothers and nobly suffering girl
friends who had come down to see
their loved ones off in a blaze of
pathos. 1t was pretty terrible.
The buses swung out of the termi-
nal, through midtown, and out to-
ward the road to Fayetteville. The
boys began to feel better, shouted
farewells to startled girls on the
street and finally broke into raucous
song. Four flowers of the nation

Brother Piels spirits frightened
