"Get up! Can't you hear first call?"
. That's the first thing to bother us.

any more. So our first motto shall
I be. "Rise and shine."
Next, fall in for reveille without a

out and given extra duty by a grouchy
[sergeant. Next "chow call" sounds,
but we are right ready for that part
of our (Jay's duty. And, oh! the
ciowding and jamming is much worse
than that of hogs. The K. Ps throw
Tout the stuff to us. It usually consists
of oats, chips, mush, and sometin]?3
flapjacks wah scrambled eggs. Pretty
soon we have breakfasted, after heaving.
chewing and gulping. Then out
in line to scrub our dirty mess kits,
i Many are the expressions as we unj
easily stand there. Here are some
: samples: "Take off your shoes if you
i want to swim," "Don't be all day,"
I "Leave it go until noon," or else
j "Shake a leg and snap out of your
dope."
j Meanwhile "sick call" goes, and
; most of the gold bricks report as sick,
j trying to get marked "quarters."
: Soon after fatigue call is heard, and
j the call is heard: "All my men outside
i for fatigue." "Fall in, forward, right
j face, march,'.' and soon we are feed;
ing the thundering hee-haw mules.
I "Who, Zip!" One poor fellow is
kicked over, then another, but then
j this is just aji "everyday occurrence.
We are teaching them kicking lessons,
so that when we get "over

arrange to have the kaiser kicked to

j The corporal, a cow-puncher from

| all of the morning, and now we are
: quite tired as the cherry "re-call"

Again we are at our mess at noon.
J Sometimes it's hot dog, slum, hash,

' our ltjgt motto, for rest comes sure
and soon for we busy Sammies. After

we go up to our old and welcome
