Your Job—^And You
The great diatancee. the extreme apectoliBottoa of serv
ice branched, the mammoth tixe ol the Amertean miUtary
establishment tod^ mohee it difficult for the overage G1
to reoUse thot upon his efforts, no matter whot his iob,
rests the efficiencT of the Army.
Sure, soys the GI. but what am I doing? Swinging a
SM^ ond bvoomi Pounding a typewriter! Corrying mee-
aogeel Answering a telephone! Running a mimeogr^h
moehinel Leomiog the fob of a mees altendanti And so
it goes. Eoch fob, to the individual, is not big enough for
him—is not Important in the ovsroli s^eme of things.
And there is the hit^ the overall schesae of things is
entirely depMdent on the Gls who swing brooms, pound
typowriters, file letters, drive trucks,- teach students. With
out each individual doing his fob and doing it well, the
overall scheme falters through the "weok links’* in its
chains,^ breaks down. The Army operates on the theory
that each man must do his fob-»and do it well. .So for
that theory has operated with omasicg results. Never in
the history of the world has such a mammoth oTgdnlsotioa
as the American miUtory establishment sprung into being
in such a short time—and functioned with deodly eificien-
cy.
The infantryman on Sicily, oloeg with his Signal Corps.
Tankmen. Artillerymen. Parachute Trooper-brothers, would
be.uncMe to cerate without a long life-line behind him.
You. as port of the Army, are part of the life-line. Your
little bit may seem insignificant: but along with the other
thousonds of little bits, it goes to moke up the whole pic
ture.
Yup, Soldier, your fob is important. . Somebody- bos
to do it. Somebody has to see th^ thert tiny portion of our
military liis is oared for.' Why not you?
So You Havoi't a Thing to Do?
It's a common oomploint among soldiers, no motter where
they are, that they h^en't a thing to do. Seymour Johnson
Field is no exception. Gr^ after gripe about this tmag-
inotive condition is heard. But Is it true? C*mMi now,
yvurseli the question—Isn't there a thing to do here on
Seymour Johnson?
Maybe we're all wrong, but it seems to us like the>e*s
n.ElfTY to do, and it isn't going to cost you much to do
it. ^Mt Exchanges, movies, library. Service Club, radio
shows, the Goldsboro USO. the Wayne County Ifemoriol
Community BuildiBg, boxfog shows, day loosu with ra
dios, newspapers osd magasines gvdore. letter writing
facililiee, special USO-Caa^ shows every eo often, dance
at both the USO and Service Club, open oir-bond con
certs. athletic facilities for individual use at the Sports
Arena, and a host of other recreaHoni that may be found
in your barracks av*ci. such as basketball and volley bcdl.
No, there are a lot of things here for the soldier to do.
Btififf that, the peisoa w^ is entertoiBed easily is usual
ly the man who is willing to entertain himself. And that,
too. is for from impossible.
It may be a long ^iray to Sicily, Tunisia, the S^osaons
or Attu, but well bet you right now that there's Bany ma
Improvised game and entertoizunent under way in thoee
theatetm. The focilittes aren't provided like they ore here.
A thousand itesas of desired equipment are lacking. Bat
not Yankee ingenuity. And thot makes up for it.
No. we on Seymour Johnson Field.wheB comporing our
let with others, are pretty hicky Gls. There are plenty of
to do.
