As the General Rucker plowed back up the Potomac to Washington, we were introduced to Colonel Ord's special toilet soap and to the army's "form fitting" clothes. Then came the delightful task of learning how to wrap ten yards of wool around a leg without concealing the identity of that extremity. Incidentally, a few of us accomplished that feat before camp was over. Remember? When we think of Fort Washington we like to recall the over-night camp at Chapel Point. A ten-mile hike under a hot sun with heavy packs. blisters on tender feet, a swim in the Potomac, hard ground for a bed, a good breakfast, all blended strangely to make an enjoyable experience. Remember? Those weeks spent on the range will not be forgotten soon. We had fun punching holes in the little black dots on the targets from distances of two to three hundred yards. Didn't we?
