end up The plafoons in The deepesT puddles on BarneTT Avenue field. BUT we were Trying our damndesf. The firsf before-breakfasf run-iT was really a gallop flaf ouT-nearly laid us low. We had no wind and no legs, wiTh a few sTellar excepTions, parTicularly in The Second Plafoon. The young LieuTenanTs in Companies E and F, fresh from Their I0 weeks of Toughening up, Took To calling us The Coughing Colonels, The Blind Tigers, and The Cenfury Club. Well, our course was iusf begin- ning: maybe we'd show Them. We goT used To The AV-S being The Tail end of every formaTion, and To moving double Time whenever we came To a hill or a swamp. Even The convoys wenT aT The double, so ThaT no one was surprised-or hurT-when 20 of us Tipped over in our Truck aT a righT-angle Turn down grade. Nor when Two Trucks managed, in some miraculous fashion, To escape from The convoy and end up losT aT lndependenT Hill, alfhough everyone in The parTy had wiTh him a deTailed map of The counfry. On all field Trips we expecTed iT To rain lwhich is probably why They call Them Terrain exer- cisesl, and iT never disappoinfed us. Mud To our knees became our naTural habiTaT. BuT we kepT on Trying. Classroom work wasn'T much beTTer. New and sfrange courses came whizzing aT us from all sides: we couldn'T Tell a magnefic azimufh from an 8I-mm. morTar hole in The ground: we didn'T know The score: Maior Fisher in Naval Law was our consolafion-unperfurbed, enTerTain- ing, leisurely. Pressure all The Time. And Then before we knew iT we were geTTing final examinafions, and could only Take refuge in The Thoughf ThaT The firsf hundred RPs are The hardesf. As The weeks clicked by, The pieces began To fiT To- gefher. Mose of us realized The care and skill and efficiency wiTh which The complicafed ROC courses were organized. The insTrucTors were giving all They had To Their jobs. Underneafh, we were deadly serious and were noT making excuses. The Marine Schools and The Marine Corps were deadly serious and were noT wasTing Time. They were running a magnificenf machine. ThaT helped our morale. Even ROC can'T be sixfeen hours a day of grim work. We found a few minuTes here and There and goT To know each oTher beTTer. We were proud of The' number of beribboned ex-Marines from The lasT war-BlounT, ISSII Chapman, Dickey, Lefebvre, MacFarlane, SmiTh, Tilley- ThaT were wiTh us, and of men like McLean, MounT, and Schaefer who had been in oTher branches of The service before and had now finished up in The righT place. We knew who would be lasT To formafions, and made beTs on iT. We knew ThaT no one could ask more guesfions Than Blackford, Murphy, and Tilley, and ThaT noThing could inferfere wiTh The nighfly bowling bouTs of Dickey and Gabler. We wenT To The Officers Club, discovered BOO, Took week-ends in Washingfon ThaT were even more sfrenuous Than life in Company H. Our favoriTe Topics of Talk were The wild life and The frigidify of The food in Officers Mess, The various impossibilifies of leave, and The amazing spirif of The Corps. Gradually The AV-S end of The ROC came To The fronT and we lisTened and Talked To Majors Clark and KureTich and Ranch. We had our inTerviews aT The end of The fourTh week and found Them pleasanf. We knew we were noT only in a good service buf in a good branch of ThaT service. When our C.apTain Murphy broke all pre- cedenfs and was elecfed Presidenf of The enTire l2Th ROC, we felT ThaT maybe The Aviafion SecTion was gef- fing beffer. We shall noT forgef The fracfured ribs ThaT Murphy dedicafed To The cause of Touch fooTball. Nor Capfain Shuler'5 baby ThaT goT Tangled up wiTh our RP in Aerial Phofography. Nor Maior Fisher's anecdoTes. Nor Lieu- Tenanf Finch's TranslaTions of Semper Fidelis. Nor our collecfions of Brownies. Nor The way we seemed To Thrive on lack of sleep. Nor The sour noTes of The Tem- peramenfal bugler across BarneTT Avenue aT 0530. Nor The firsT Time we goT behind a machine gun and laid iT on The Targef. Five weeks were up, The back of The course was broken. The days ahead looked brighf and sTrenuous-firing various pieces on The range, focussing more and more aTTenTion on aviafion subiecfs, and finally shoving off on The already legendary landing-parfies and graduafion. We hoped ThaT all of us would sTill be aboard, and Then Mac could pull up his ladder. When we came To Ouan- Tico we were ready To go. AT The end of our Time here, Thanks To The excellenf Training of The ROC and The AV-S, we believe ThaT we are on our way, and we are sTill Trying. uni
