"With the Medics''

the unusual amount OF HCCle
brown buttons found in and
around the detachment area?
Well, think nothing of it. They be-
long to our G. o. 1t. Adams, who
has every reason to be walking
around quite chesty these days.
For one thing, the Det. has set a
new post record of carrying on for
ninety-four (94) consecutive days
without a single case of Venereal
Disease. Although such record
shouldn't ordinarily be anything
unusual, what with all the pre-
cautions, and continuous lnfOr-
nation we've been getting along
that line from 1t. Jackson, it does
show that the fellows are taking
pride in their Detachment. After
all. we. are men, not mice, and
should be quite willing to take
some, very good advice from those
who Should know Let's keep up
the good. work and continue on
after that Army Record. Our ex-
ample has already caused other
units on the post to sit up and
take notice, so with little self
determination and pride on the
part of each member, it can easily
be done.
Another interesting event that has
been taxing the G. Os shirt is the
recent victory last Thursday of the
MedicS Basketball team over the
supermen from Reconditioning. In
the spotlight are: T/5 James L.
Scott, S/Sgt. Luther Lust, Sgt.
Selma Drake, T/5 Harry G. Floyd
and Cpl. Frank Mcdonald. These
boys played the whole game without
any substitutes, and were finally
rewarded with a "a to % victory.
If you remember, last week the same
teams played to tie at the end of
the fourth quarter, with the nod
going to the boys from Recon. after
a minute overtime play. How
ever, that game was disqualified and
ruled off the books due to an illegal
and technical foul called against the
MedicS. The boys are really in good
condition and plan to challenge
some of the teams from the GRIND
as soon as they return from the
field. Let's get out there and sup
port our team. Think of how much
harder they would fight with us out
there backing them up.
On the sick list is TVS John F.
Simmons, who is having bit of
trouble with his sinuseS. Drop up
there to Ward 8; he'd be glad to
see you. S/Sgt. Leroy Brown, our
Personnel Clerk, is still on Ward
%. T/5 Milton C. Myers, who
has been on Ward Is for quite
some time now, will soon be leav-
ing for Dwight General Hospital
in Illinois for clearance prior to
his discharge from the Army. All
the best of luck to you, Myers.
Wen be missing grand fellow.
Pfc. Birdie LeFlOre, one of our
best Dental TechnicianS, is on
Ward u, suffering from painful
headaches. Also on Ward "a is
Pvt. Walter Drumm0nd. A speedy
recovery to you all from every
member of the Detachment.
The efficiency of the Detachment
has again been cut somewhat due
to the recent cadre of six men who
left here last Friday for Camp Bar
kelley, Texas.

Sgt. Gable Gray Time by Bulova"
. has returned from Jersey, but he
has acquired new title, "Time by
Gruen." We are hoping he won't
suffer the same fate as before
Flash! 1! ! All Pool Sharks, Cpl.
Carl Lilly, the Lilly Boy" contends
he is Pool Champion" He states
he has turned down many offers
to enter national contests. If there
are any such other champions, we
would like to see the Lilly Boy de-
fend his title.-That Mantle of Ar
rogance," CPL Often Jones, wears
is the only thing the Greeks DID
NOT have a word for; but we have!
Where did Cpl. Joseph Hartzog
get that rabbit foot that allows him
to defy convention with impunity?
ATTENTION! If you are a
groom-eXpectant don't fail to con-
suit that "ConnoisSeur of Fine
Gems" Pfc. Jefferson Simmons
''The" Othello threatens to prove
to yours truly that the eraser is
mightier than the pen. Shame on
you!-If Cpl. Nathaniel Combs isn't
called to preach, all will be lost

shoulders, but looks like Sgt. Clar-
