Found a handbook on Army Life
in America where it advised new recruits on aspects of how to work in the
Army. It was produced in 1944 with an updated version in 1946 and we bring
you both to read here.
Here is the introduction from
the 1944 edition...
As a newly inducted soldier,
you will find it necessary to make a complete readjustment of your previous
habits of life. You have become a part of a huge organization in which you
will live in intimate daily association with other soldiers conforming to
the exacting requirements of the military team. The necessary disciplinary
control and the military surroundings will present an entirely new order of
life for you, all essential to our great purpose in this war.
To help yoju make the necessary readjustments, this booklet, Army Life, has
been prepared. It is based on experience of millions of men who have entered
the Army before you and it should provide the answers for most of the
questions every new soldier asks himself or his associates. Study carefully
its contents, for it should assist you greatly in making the necessary
readjustments in establishing yourself as an efficient soldier.
Good luck to you. May you find friends and experience that will be of great
help to you in the years to come.
