Show WHAT PEEVED THE RECRUIT Little Discussion He Had With Corporal Cor-poral Left Him Disgusted With Relief From Guard Duty. A couple of recruits of the latest vintage, who had enlisted in the hope of being sent to the Rhine, were discussing dis-cussing the pros and cons of army life. "It ain't so bad," confided one. "Most of it is all right, but it's that blasted relief from guard duty that gets me." "Belief from guard duty!" ejaculated the other.' "Man, you're cuckoo! There's nothing to being relieved from guard duty. It's being on guard duty that's hell." "No," maintained the first. "It's the relief. Why, the other day they put me on guard for two hours, and it wasn't bad at all just standing around and watching the rest of 'era drilling and knowing that I didn't have to do it myself, but then wdien the time for relief came the corporal came up and gave me the devil." "What for?" "Nothing. Nothing at all. I just couldn't remember where I'd left my rifle." |
