to give the impression that I am just
about to overturn the bunk. Bushemi

gins mumbling aimlessly under his

Somehow, we manage to get into

blows to call us outside. We shiver
in the dark cold as section leaders
call the roll, mostly from memory.
The second section of the first pla-

energetic soldiers at the other end
of the squadroom rise and begin the
morning with sickeningly cheerful
horseplay. They yank the covers off
their neighbors. The neighbors yank
the covers back on.
Pfc. Bishop, unofficial guardian of
the public relations staff, rises from
his bunk which Is next to mine.
"Hargrove! Bushemi! Get upl Sa-

I stick cautious toe out from

"Well,' he said, hemming and

he's just plain buck sergeant. Six
stripes is a master sergeant. I'm a

above buck sergeant and one grade
