We have washed million mess
kits,
And peeled a million spuds,
And killed a million snakes and
ants
That have tried to steal our
grub.
When our work on earth will tell:
when they died they went to
Heaven,
For they've done their stretch
in Hell.''
When the final taps have sounded
When we lay aside life's cares,
When we stand our last inspec-
ton
On those shining golden stairs.
The angels will welcome us,
Their golden harps will play;
And we will draw a million can
teen checks
And spend them in day.
It is there we will hear St. Peter
Tell us loudly with yell:
take a seat, you boys from the
desert,
For you've done your stretch
in He'll"

who has been in service for the
past nine months, is now station
ed at Fl. Benning, Ga, with the
paratroopers. He sends in the
following letter that was written
by fellow paratrooper, de-
scribing his feelings on his first
jump:
Monday we made our first
jump from the plane. It's just
about the greatest experience I
have ever had. 1 can't possibly
describe it. To say l wasn't scar
ed would be a lie, but l wasn't
really so frightened as l thought
l would be. We have five flights
in our platoon. I'm in the fourth
flight and am second man. Wait
ing for your flights turn is really
nerve-racking. You hardly know
how to act. Everyone knows you
re scared to death, but somehow
you don't want to show it. Guys
laugh at very unfunny jokes, etc.
When the plane gets on its
course over the fields, the jump
master gives the command, Hook
on" You hook your static line
on the anchor cable. Stand up at
the same time. At command
Stand by" you move UP to the
door. Since I'm the second man,
1 can see the ground, and it's a
long way down, believe me! I'm
right behind the first man, as
close as l can get. At the COM
mand, Col" first man makes a
flat dive at the horizon. l have
to leave at the same time he
does, right on his tail, and SO
down the line, all ten men in less
than three seconds.
That was the hardest door I've
ever gone through. Time ceases
from the time you leave the plane
until you get your opening shock
1t seems like hours, but it is only
about two or three seconds.
kept my eyes open, and you get
the craziest perspective on things
in general. The instant you
leave the door you feel a terrific
blast of air. This is the propel-
Ter blast. 1t feels funny as the
dickens. You don't really have
any sensation of falling, but the
deck seems to come up at you
You begin to wonder if you pack
ed the darned chute right when
wham! you get your opening
shock. After all, the ride down is
fun. You yell and whistle at one
another. Well, another big day
tomorrow, SO,
Love,
