WHEN I got out of the Army, I raised
my right hand over my derby and
said, "Never again, I hope''
And I am here to state that I was just one of
about 3,000,000 who felt like that only stronger.
It was my privilege to kick and believe me, I
did. I couldn't get out too quick I wanted a
feather bed, restaurant food and trousers that
flapped around my ankles.
But now that I'm out, civil life is not all that
we cracked it up to bel And the Army looks
like a pretty good place, after all.
I've been and seen and done things that I
wouldn't give up my memories of, for anything.
I had a fine crowd of buddies two-fisted
men with a regular man's outlook on life.
I learned how to take care of myself and all
comers to hold my own with the best and
with the worst.
And I learned the sort of discipline that makes
a man able to handle men.
I got pretty fair clothes not as
good as the Army gives in peace
time but warm and plenty of them
and they didn't set me back .

Like every one alee In the Army

The Army never was a bed of roses it was
not meant to be. It is a powerful fighting
machine. And even right now, with the peace
time lack of hardship, it's still no place for the
lad who won't "play ball."
But, the man who does his duty, who snaps
into the spirit of the game, who stands on his
own feet, who plays hard and plays clean there
is the chap who gets along and eats up the
Army life.
He learns how to handle men, he rises in rank
as fast as he proves himself.
He is intrusted with important and interest
ing work.
He gets more money clear than he could save
in civil life.
He comes out with a better
education he has a real time with
a good crowd of regular he-men-He's
seen something and been -something
and done something for
the little old U S. A.
