Rats who receive penalties for various infractions participate twice a week. Rats will usually find themselves doing something different each week. The most re- quested are stoop-marching, grounds-keeping, and guarding the post ' s landmarks. Stoop-marching consists of a squad of ten Rats marching at frantic pace and reciting pertinent Rat Bible infor- mation. Cleaning the barracks is always a favorite of the Rats. Finally, as a service to tourists. Rats are ready and waiting to recite all information on the particular landmark that they guard entusiastically. The Rats had provided over 5000 hours of service!
