You remember Wretched, the lody's man l of our fair city. Take a good look at those classy candids-the blurred one is Wretched.

'A' No wonder all the boys beg for library passes- I do too- 'A' These are Wacs in training-kinda cute- doh't you think so? if But why can't we put it in the camp paper? - It's true! If it doesn't blow us up first, they're going to blow up the Japs with it. Hail, hail, the gang's all here! And the gang all chipped in on a project like this. lt's the 'Big Bond Drive' getting under way, and we're going to pay for four of those Triple Threat Jeeps with our bonds and stamps. We all had to dig down deep but these days there's no better place to plant your do-re-me than in good old war bonds. 'nuff said unquote, 6 After a brief address by each of the afore mentioned gents, we all went over to the Commissary fthe G. I. Lord 81 Taylor? and were completely outfitted. From heel to hair I am a khaki kid, and if I don't grow into these duds pretty soon I'lI be a wacky kid. But if you think I look funny, just give a gander at Wretched. He wants to know where the guy he's sharing his suit 3- with has been keeping himself. Buck and Barkow just gave us a very stiff exam. My sole source of information or inspiration was the sentry pacing up and down outside the window. And you know-you never can imagine how unresponsive a sentry can be. We'II hear the results of the test later, but I don't think I'II be very eager to hear mine. Wretched wonders when do we march! He'II regret that statement-he'II be sorreeee.

I am now actively engaged in soaking my feet, fully clothed in my G.I. shoes. And what I mean shoes. Oh, man, Lil' Abner should see me now! Gosh, it seems as if I go from worse to worser! My eagles have fled ,and l've got no pocket lettuce left to spend. So while the rest of the GI Joes are having some pictures taken to send home, I have to study the good old Army Bible. The boys of the Lens or photography division ,are taking the pictures, and they just started a whale of a campaign. I've been shot-in the arm. In fact I have never been so thoroughly needled in all my life. I feel like an extremely numb pincushion. From hence to barracks where, numb arm and all, we had to scrub, scrub, scrub. The rookies are having a big shindig here with a couple of tank loads of homemade entertainment thrown in gratis. I'm a good stand-in for the Irish Washerwoman in present position. On second thought, I'm all set for a game of African dominoes. Drill was called oft the other day, and a gang of us sat around listening to the Old Issues air their knowledge. The Old Issue, you know, is a peacetime soldier who still honors the Army with his presence. Believe you me, their stories beat Alice in Wonderland by a considerable distance and not even a topkick can silence a recruit as swiftly and effectively as the Old Issue can. He just dissolves 'em with rookie, yardbird-We stood at attention longer than you've been in the Army. From the draftee-silence, just buckets of it, dripping with unuttered invectives.

He'lI be a little disappointed when he finds out that all the guy wanted was a picture of the new jeeps. I0 6 Some of the rowdier element out here have been doing devious devil- ments among us rookies. We're being accused right and lett of being --' ,F 'Zi . 5 raunchy. Our guns are raunchy our boots are raunchy. Everything is just a big mess of 'raunchinessf' Oh, well, they'll laugh the other way when we get our stripes. I finally got it. There's nothing in this man's army that you can avoid with less success than K. P.-and that doesn't stand tor King of the Privates, either. But I have one comfort. Wretched can't scott anymore. The lads in the Camouflage Division showed off their art in a stu-u-pendous display last P. M. Tsk, tsk, such woik. Maybe Kilmer was wrong about trees, huh? These guys can do anything. What's your order, gate? An oak tree, a weeping willow, rose arbor, gopher, just tell these embryo De Vincis. There was a booth where they drew our portraits, and a booth that advertised What ever you want-we got it. Leave it to Wretched not to pass up an open- ing like that. He promptly walked up and ordered Betty Grable. You know, there's one thing about Wretched-he's not a bit bashful about starting out big, ll 5 Q f.'s af 7 if lf lu 'lf' , f l ' r' l A 9 i .f i' T Z , , :WP vzv ll l K-mf' P 'll .L l'm writing y'all from way out here in bivouac, which by the way is a civil- ized term for Alcatraz.

A horrible species of animal l might mention. lt is a com- mon beliet that they are organized by some diabolical leader and sent in squadrons to strafe poor G.l.'s. Never saw such brushin' and scrubbin' in all my born days. But it's in a just cause. The Wacs are having a Leap Day party over at their post, and we are the lucky gents. Gorshl l just had a thought.

Three cheers for those Gray Ladies and their red crosses. They're doing a man-sized job wherever they are. The local Joes are backing this drive one hundred per-cent, and l guess that the Angels of Mercy are receiving the some throughout these old United States. You know, it makes you feel good to know that the Red Cross is on the job wherever our troops are stationed. lt's a good feeling because someday I may be a part of one of those troops. i -A' Who wouIdn't buy bonds to vote for queens W f Sl I3 if Surely not finances but passes that are causing Lillian's headaches- 'A' This was the beginning of a grand place for us to spend our leisure ,XX Some G.l.'s polish the general's boots - other lust hold his dog- ir They really fake their officer's training seriously, don't they?

Never a dull moment herel l just looked at my face in the garbage can, and have decided l ought to go on the stage. Therel's a sort of tradition that every year the Privates, Corporals, Sergeants, and Lieutenants each get up a show and put them on.

No matter how late we sneak in at night ,we always have to get up at the same time in the morning-if not earlier. What's more, when you do get up, you have to climb into the darndest contraptions and combinations of clothes that were ever invented, hlolding first place by a mile are those bones of the barracks, leg- gins. These leggins are canvas put- t We tees, whose most endearing trait is the unpredictability of the laces. They part at the most inconvenient times. However this fiendish equipment has its good points. For instance, this morning when reveille blew, Wretched lwho accompanied me on my noctur- nal wanderingsl snatched a few extra minutes of the good old you-know- what. With about 45 seconds left fe l before inspection, Wretched leaped in- The Clleef SUYS fight bU'f must YOU to his shoes, leggins, and a nice, long lake if SO lllemlly' Cllorlle? overcoat to give Ol' Sharp Eyes tour serg.l the impression that he has his trousers con too.

Then to take the edge off the sobering effects of his talk, we had a big feed for our own football team.

Coke and hot dogs were served and, per usual, when there are women there, a good time was had by all. Great day, not a lieutenant in the whole place!

Today l am a G-Man. A G-Man is a full fledged member of K-P detail. To be specific, he is the chief disposer of all garbage. He has little rest while on the job because the Army kitchen is a notorious collector of the stuff in question. A.K.P. isn't a member in good standing until he trips on his way to the incinerator and displays his wares all over the company area. This is the signal for loud and lusty cheers from all specta- tors. The G-Man is the cleanest member of the squad-because he has to take more baths than anybody else. Well you can guess what happened, for I have attained the dignified title of-G-Man. lf only all the combat tests were this easy-- Imagine finding an extra girl at one of our oh joy! dances- 27 xx Everybody's chest is sticking out a mile ar d , oun the post this week vm And we've got a right to pop our buttons. The big Bond Drive has ended fell and good old company B has gone far and away, over the top. The rah-rah , Q boys gave us a certificate of merit that rivals the pin-up gals on the barracks l walls. The non-coms had themselves quite a time at their banquet. Plenty of the-kind-that's- never-served-in-mess-food too. After partaking of said stuff, they listened to some lecturers. There's only one catch though-no second helpin s Al g . l in all, they told us that it was some- thing to write home about-so I did. ln keeping with the events of the sporting world, we have organized a track team in our bar- racks, We have been doing pretty well so far, and h OVC SOYTIE good ITIGY1 OH OUI' TGOFYI. fl El l X l lx YV T ly ll U L, 28 How y'alll l'm acquiring a fine specimen of Loos-i-anna drawl. This raw bunch that has been assigned to me is strictly from south of the Mason Dixon. l am a nasty old mean Yankee Cgorshl. But how else can I pound it into their heads that this is the army Mr. Jones. l'm sure that no other squad has seen the red flag as often as mine. It was really funny out on the range. These gents seem to fancy themselves as duellers and nothing makes them madder than the sight of that red flag, or as the boys so affection- ately term it- Maggie's Drawers. The pit boys aren't soft-hearted in these matters either, for if the soldier misses the target after five shots, they gleefully wave Maggie's Drawers with a zest that infuriates the marksmen. lt's no use to demand a recount either for this would impair the pit boy's keen delight when he discovers that the target hasn't even been scorched. Yass suh! Several of these new guys are working hard at the art of becoming a Gold-Brick. They are taking first hand lessons from that greatest of all Goldbrickers, Wretched. lt reallv takes a lot of practice to become an accomplished Gold-Brick. You can't just be allergic to work, you must do lots of research as to the methods of getting out of work.

Anyhow, the mud is nearly dry by now, and we are looking forward to a nicy sunny graduation day . A lieuten captai T that's by the lovely joy wcu pon rising this fine morning, I easantly surprised to mind that the s shining, l woke up my buddy ould view this phenomena, but he n here ten months and has already nother Bond drive started today. There was a big assembly led by one of our 2nd ants. The band played a couple of numbers ,and we were addressed by a marine n who had been in action in the South Pacific. he girls from the U. S. O. had a big dance at the camp. lt was the biggest thing happened for a long time. Not all of us got to go, as it was limited to those invited girls themselves. Being one of the chosen few l was able to observe that they had new decorations and a real, live, out-of-camp band! lt was strictly formal, and my s unbounded upon finding that there was no stag line to leer at my date. The Lonely Hearts Club sponsored a roller skating party, the profits of which went to Cri the wo le General Hospital, which has recently been built near here. lt is a hospital for unded soldiers who are returning now. We were all over at the lecture room this morning for a lulu ofa lecture by Comman- der-ineChief J. B. Woodside. lt wasn't a very long talk and we had the rest of the morning and the whole afternoon off, Now, l don't like to leave my squad. They're shaping up into cu darned smart outfit of soldiers, Goldbrickers and all. Nevertheless, this great love didn't change my mind about going into town with a few of the fellows. We really did the town-what there was of it, and now l'll have toyborrow a few simoleons to get back my la.J OS we HOW Vt- ndry. Wretched uses my shirts at will, and l find that l'm running short of shirts l as cents. Ha-ha-just wait 'till he looks for his tie in the morning. Yours truly is earing it, and anticipates a jolly time of it tomorrow at sunrise. . . ,si gsgtagsf, ll iss 58 These rookies really kill me, though. I don't see how anybody could be as dumb as they are. We were dumb, I know, but we couldn't have been like that. The questions these dog- faces ask would have Mr. Anthony tearing his toupee. Oh, well, l'll have to bear with them. Perhaps they all have a vitamin deficiency or something. Most draftees are both pleased and surprised, more pleased than surprised, when they meet their first three-striper. The Army Sergeant lSarge to his intimatesl has long been pictured as a granite pussed, tough, unrelenting, hunk of man who has a tendency to devour rookies, uncooked ones, yet! True, there are still some who answer this description but the species is rapidly becoming extinct. lnstead of a tough guy, a slim youth who has no trace of rough talk about him, wears glasses and a meek look ,rushed hospitably out to meet them. This gives the rookie ambition. Why, even he may be called Sarge some day., , Well, I have to study up on my psychology now, that's the, latest Army method of making rookies behave, you know. They may have something there, but they sure never used it on us! 'A' i' 'A' Well, the great day is here! At 9:30 this morning we are scheduled to get our wings! I thought I would be excited, but it seems just like any other day now. The sun isn't shining now but it will be by 9:30, I hope. I am trying to convince myself that those dark places are just the silver linings showing through.
