And
with
the
girls
be
handy
.
I
never
really
intended
to
join
up
.
And
certainly
not
the
infantry
!
Why
,
I
would
rather
have
taken
ten
lashes
in
the
public
square
and
have
my
father
tell
me
that
I
was
a
disgrace
to
a
proud
name
.
Oh
,
I
had
mentioned
to
my
father
,
late
in
my
senior
year
in
high
school
,
that
I
was
thinking
over
the
idea
of
volunteering
for
Federal
Service
.
I
suppose
every
kid
does
,
when
his
eighteenth
birthday
heaves
into
sight
--
and
mine
was
due
the
week
I
graduated
.
Of
course
most
of
them
just
think
about
it
,
toy
with
the
idea
a
little
,
then
go
do
something
else
--
go
to
college
,
or
get
a
job
,
or
something
.
I
suppose
it
would
have
been
that
way
with
me
...
if
my
best
chum
had
not
,
with
dead
seriousness
,
planned
to
join
up
.
Carl
and
I
had
done
everything
together
in
high
school
--
eyed
the
girls
together
,
double-dated
together
,
been
on
the
debate
team
together
,
pushed
electrons
together
in
his
home
lab
.
I
was
n't
much
on
electronic
theory
myself
,
but
I
'm
a
neat
hand
with
a
soldering
gun
;
Carl
supplied
the
skull
sweat
and
I
carried
out
his
instructions
.
It
was
fun
;
anything
we
did
together
was
fun
.
Carl
's
folks
did
n't
have
anything
like
the
money
that
my
father
had
,
but
it
did
n't
matter
between
us
.
When
my
father
bought
me
a
Rolls
copter
for
my
fourteenth
birthday
,
it
was
Carl
's
as
much
as
it
was
mine
;
contrariwise
,
his
basement
lab
was
mine
.
So
when
Carl
told
me
that
he
was
not
going
straight
on
with
school
,
but
serve
a
term
first
,
it
gave
me
to
pause
.
He
really
meant
it
;
he
seemed
to
think
that
it
was
natural
and
right
and
obvious
.
So
I
told
him
I
was
joining
up
,
too
.
He
gave
me
an
odd
look
.
"
Your
old
man
wo
n't
let
you
.
"
"
Huh
?
How
can
he
stop
me
?
"
And
of
course
he
could
n't
,
not
legally
.
It
's
the
first
completely
free
choice
anybody
gets
(
and
maybe
his
last
)
;
when
a
boy
,
or
a
girl
,
reaches
his
or
her
eighteenth
birthday
,
he
or
she
can
volunteer
and
nobody
else
has
any
say
in
the
matter
.
