Th«r«'a a group of "oU'tijMrs"
on th« post uho glor7 In sxpresslng
santiasnts to the effect:
i^en «e were at (jou name it)
fieldg things were a lot better allow
can you compare (you name It) field
to this Jointa" Or words to that
effect.
But these "old*tlnsr8" should
rensmber that not everyone station^
ed at Seymour Johnson Field can
boast of lengthy personal histories
in the Amyg of different places
they’ve been stationed at.
For the majority of the mem
stationed hsrsg Seymour Johnson
Field is the first important baee
they've hit since leaving replace-
msnt centers.
For these meng Seymour John&on
Field n the Aimy. It is the place
where they will learn the "ropes"
about Any lifSgWbere they will re
ceive thetr training to make them
vengeful fighteve for democrat^.
Will it be with pride that they
will answer? We hope so. And it's
our Jobg the men irtw've seen the
Any at other pbetsr to eee " that
Seymour Johnson Field- is the type
of place which will be referred to
by its graduates in a proud manner.
How is this to be done? Well
there's no Army manuals or Regulat
ions giving us direction* What it
smotints to is sniping out ennuig
the feeling that at 1700g the day's
over—let * e-go-baejc-to-the-barradce
an^go-to-slaep-feellng. It means
getting into things with more vimg
more vigor. It means participating
in field activities not with the
feeling they're compulsory but with
the knowledge they're for our ben
efit.
It means trying to build up a
^irit of cwip-consdousnsssgof do
ing everything posaible to bring
credit to Seymour Johnson Field in
Goldsboro and slseidisrsa How thia
is to be done ie plainly vq> to youg
the individual soldier.
Since this column her a mother-
in-law's tendency to point out all
of your faults (which is probably
a good thing most of the t.iBe)ait'B
about time we change pace and toss
an orchid out.
We've been noticing the swell
way rou soldiers give up your seats
on bi- : to the "fairer sexT We've
read . .'’eat deal about service men
leaving their manners at home, but
after using the crowded buses that
run from Goldsboro to the Field for
several 'nonths, we've seen very few
soldiers hanging on to their seats
when tiiere were iromen standing.
We think it's great that even
in war-time ssiall things like man
ners still count to the American
soldier.
Sd.'s notoi The newest column
to be added to Air-O-Mech Is this
feature to be conducted weekly by
the Post chaplains. This space will
not be ’jsert Tor sermons, but Just
informal ialks.
Chaplain Taintor has remarked
that probably in no other phase of
American fighting history has so
much prominence been given to the
religious leaders wd*o rank from
first lieutenant to Chief of Chap
lains Crlg. Oen, William R. Arnold.
This is fairly strong evidence of
the concern of nhe goveramont that
our soldiers return to their jiost
war homes as moral and as good as
citiBens as they were before their
life in the Army.
This column will be conducted
next week by Chaplain Talnter.

By Pvt. Saroisl a. Weinberg
You've seen naw posters every day.
To warn of aovlng lips.
That Aon you're shooting off your
mouth.
You sink a thousand chips.
Perhaps that drsamy-eysd new gtl.
Is whirling 'round your brain.
Perh^s the things you told bar.
Has now dsrallsd a train.
Poihaps that aniffter, was real
good.
It really hit tbs spot.
You can't rsmaabor what you said.
But boy, you said a lot.
No natter what you ohanea to say.
Or if you're far or near.
To all the atatimenta that you
aako,
Tho Axis lands a ysar.
Just curb the freadon of your
apesch.
To all you love, bs fair.
Bs careful of the things you say.
The RATS are sveryidiers.
Jt'a bast to think before you naak,
*lls ws are in this strife.
The little things, that you nay say
nay coat your beat f,lsnd'a Ufa.
Whan you era ready for a trip.
Curb your amdoty.
Don't call up hcew, to toll the
folks.
Wham next you'is going to bo.
The ones you love, will sure bo
glad.
To know wbars you'll bo sant.
Aiid diile yoa'rs telling than the
facts, the Axis ear is bant.
So slao up soldlsrj out the talk.
Don't lak a sound squsaas threuBi.
The lives of aoldiars, on the asva.
Depends on Private *100*.
If you want vistoiy raal aeon.
And that I needn't dsuM.
Just u.. your hMd a little wort.
And auch nom leas your mouth.
