Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis 'f is ff CGMPANY A HISTORY , Q 1 z 1 7 1 RICHARD L. TQOSTKA Wfhen we arrived at Fort Eustis we found that the mills of the CMTC grind swiftly, but the speed with which we were put thru the processing did not alter the fact that our Company AH was composed of men of very high caliber. Perhaps we sniffed when we were loaded into trucks and dispatched to our company's area but those same trucks would have been like limousines on the Yorktown hike. We found our barracks were done in natural wood colors, with sliding French windows which overlooked the golf links. They were cooled Cbut sometimes heatedj by the breezy wise cracks from our camp wits. The flrst evening Captain Johnson acquainted us with the camp regulations and in a short while the various Red, White, and Blue candidates were appointed as our corporals and sergeants, and then the fun began. For two days our Officers insisted that all drill movements be executed in a uniform manner rather than with the individual touch so many of us tried to add. VVhen we were somewhat ironed out we began to use our rifles and to learn what kept them together and that rifle bores must be cleaned when not heard. We also found that our right armshad to be kept ready for action when we strolled along Wallace Avenue, but we encountered difficulty for the first week until we could differ- entiate between the well dressed regular and the Ohficers. Our usual ,day's drill began when we would 4'Call the Italians to attention and would end with very instructive talks on citizenship by Lieutenants Shearer, Birely or Anderson. Sometimes the mornings found us weary after a dance or a night at the Liberty Theater, but we were surely on edge in the evenings. Under Captain Johnsonis guidance we succeeded in capturing three blue ribbons in competitive regimental parades. One of these ribbons was awarded to us by hffajor General MacArthur and was tied to our guidon by Mrs. MacArthur. There are a few dead secrets that we are most anxious to keep from the home folks. If they ever saw us washing our dishes, making our bunks, washing our own clothes, or doing K. P. duty, we are sure that some phases of our home life would be radically changed, unless they saw how we did it. 'There are certain individuals who will long linger in our memories after the dust of the CMTC of 1926 has settled at Fort Eustis. W'ho could forget Ike and Troye who tempted us with the Hlast two , and Topey a few feet behind with a whole case full of milk? Remember our sheiky Sergeant Raffel, who was popularly elected as our dance manager and won a warm spot in our hearts thru his generosity and good fellowship. We recall the look of expectancy on the face of Sergeant Dell as he waited for Harris to deliver to him the telltale pink envelope. Sergeant McRae with the guidon used to lead us with a snappy pace that was only f KL f TQ.'Q 215231, ,,,M.
