f x f X9 S, 'ia af Fort Eustis- O-D -Fort Eustis MORE OR LESS ON CALLS D. R. CHRISTIE The success of an army is dependent upon its punctiliousness. In order to promote punctuality in the CMTC it was necessary for the military authorities to have wind- jammers to arouse us at dawn from our pleasant slumbers. 'We learned that if our stay in camp was to be prolonged, we would have to know what calls meant. XVe awoke by a call, ate by a call, went to bed by a call, the rest of the formations we executed by a whistle. After the first four days of camp, the majority of us learned most of the calls. Captain Frye averred that the only call to get a prompt response from the company was Mail Call. MAIL! MAIL! MAIL! A Cadet Sergeant is seen emerging from the orderly room with a bundle of packages in one arm, and a stack of letters in the other. In three seconds a mass of CMTC men are seen out in the company street. Meals are half eaten, showers are half finished, and military decorum is temporarily discarded. Poppleton, Plank, Bossf' MHERE! HERE! HERE!H The Cadet Sergeant sings out a name, and if the necessary I-Ieren is not answered promptly, the recipient of a letter or package will have to wait a couple of hours before he gets it. But this delay can be avoided if his bunkie takes it for him. A brief interval passes and the horde of recipients is quickly dispersed. In half an hour a whistle blows and the company is lined up for Peerade. As you pass along the line to get in your place, you?ll see a few glad faces, and a score of dejected ones. It is the first week at camp and there is no mail. You naturally become serious, and begin to count up your feminine acquaintances. You wonder if the girl you met last Spring was really worth making a steady. You wonder whether it was worth your time to have taken her to Le Paradi: or the Arcadia. You ask yourself if the June graduate withwhom you were going, really cared. But you take your place in line and forget the toothbrush you received from Mother, the ten spot you got from Dad, and the inevitable Girl Friend. You come back from Drill or Parade, wipe the dust off your shoes and Hop on your bunk. Another whistle blows, and a couple hundred of Basics shout Mail',. You turn on your bunk, and walk nonchalantly to the door. Your name is calledgyou sing out HI-Iere like Liza Jane in the second round of her Charleston Bluesv. HAVE YOU HEARD c'Five Foot Two, the Second Platoon, special, by Privates McAlpin and Loomis? That the Deacon came out on the company street without his whistle? Sergeant Hunter getting up at reveille in silence? That Private Maxman missed chow call in order to make Parade? That Fourth Platoon is Oil Pleasant or Counted 4? That Private George was on time for reveille, August 6? That Second Platoon turns out regularly for track practice after Lights Outh? That Sergeant Brock missed Second Call Clfalencial? - In a Cottage Small , by Private Loomis, Sr., maestro of the only one string violin in existence? That the First Platoon ought to get Best Platoon in the Regiment? CALL TO QUARTERS? ADIOS! Your thirty days are done The Cap'n has asked me to tell you, Nlister Student, Cake eater, Bum. . Remember the words he said, So turn in the score of your gun Clean your teeth, and scrub your feet And be ready to leave on a run. Or by '27 youill be deadv.
