Friday, July II-We had a drilling time today. In the morning we marched down and up, up and down, then up the field again. A General or Major yells in one of my ears, "Squads right ,I Colyum right! Marchi" Another guy sounds off in my other ear, "Quit yer talkin'. Hies up. Cut out the belly-achiri'." I always did have trouble in telling my right from my left, but after going in this "no lost motion" drill for several days, I think I shall get "down pat" just which side my heart is on. In the afternoon the R. O. T. C. unit, with several other branches and trees of the army, passed in review before Brig. Gen'l. Fiske. I hope the Brigadier saw me-I gave him my "eyes right" and tried to look my snappiest. t Some Red Letter Days in Camp Every Wednesday -Half-day holiday. Every Saturday -Same reason.
