meaning
you
had
taken
at
least
one
bath
since
last
reveille
.
A
man
might
lie
about
it
and
get
away
with
it
(
I
did
,
a
couple
of
times
)
but
at
least
one
in
our
company
who
pulled
that
dodge
in
the
face
of
convincing
evidence
that
he
was
not
recently
bathed
got
scrubbed
with
stiff
brushes
and
floor
soap
by
his
squad
mates
while
a
corporal-instructor
chaperoned
and
made
helpful
suggestions
.
But
if
you
did
n't
have
more
urgent
things
to
do
after
supper
,
you
could
write
a
letter
,
loaf
,
gossip
,
discuss
the
myriad
mental
and
moral
shortcomings
of
sergeants
and
,
dearest
of
all
,
talk
about
the
female
of
the
species
(
we
became
convinced
that
there
were
no
such
creatures
,
just
mythology
created
by
inflamed
imaginations
one
boy
in
our
company
claimed
to
have
seen
a
girl
,
over
at
regimental
headquarters
;
he
was
unanimously
judged
a
liar
and
a
braggart
)
.
Or
you
could
play
cards
.
I
learned
,
the
hard
way
,
not
to
draw
to
an
inside
straight
and
I
've
never
done
it
since
.
In
fact
I
have
n't
played
cards
since
.
Or
,
if
you
actually
did
have
twenty
minutes
of
your
very
own
,
you
could
sleep
.
This
was
a
choice
very
highly
thought
of
;
we
were
always
several
weeks
minus
on
sleep
.
I
may
have
given
the
impression
that
boot
camp
was
made
harder
than
necessary
.
This
is
not
correct
.
It
was
made
as
hard
as
possible
and
on
purpose
.
It
was
the
firm
opinion
of
every
recruit
that
this
was
sheer
meanness
,
calculated
sadism
,
fiendish
delight
of
witless
morons
in
making
other
people
suffer
.
It
was
not
.
It
was
too
scheduled
,
too
intellectual
,
too
efficiently
and
impersonally
organized
to
be
cruelty
for
the
sick
pleasure
of
cruelty
;
it
was
planned
like
surgery
for
purposes
as
unimpassioned
as
those
of
a
surgeon
.
Oh
,
I
admit
that
some
of
the
instructors
may
have
enjoyed
it
but
I
do
n't
know
that
they
did
--
and
I
do
know
(
now
)
that
the
psych
officers
tried
to
weed
out
any
bullies
in
selecting
instructors
.
They
looked
for
skilled
and
dedicated
craftsmen
to
follow
the
art
of
making
things
as
tough
as
possible
for
a
recruit
;
a
bully
is
too
stupid
,
himself
too
emotionally
involved
,
and
too
likely
to
grow
tired
of
his
fun
and
slack
off
,
to
be
efficient
.
Still
,
there
may
have
been
bullies
among
them
.
But
I
've
heard
that
some
surgeons
(
and
not
necessarily
bad
ones
)
enjoy
the
cutting
and
the
blood
which
accompanies
the
humane
art
of
surgery
.
