From the book "Army Life"

Chapter 1 - It's a new life

You Have a Place in this Army

"You are now a soldier, helping America to defend herself against aggression. The world's future now depends in part upon you. Probably you have conditioned your mind to self-sacrifice. Yet - at this moment - you may feel merely lost. You know that you are sharing common experiences with millions of other men, many of them much like yourself; yet - right now - your impressions of the soldier's life and work are probably confused.

This is natural. meeting your Army face-to-face is an experience full of surprises and nervous strains. You are not only confused; you are curious. You know that all these things have happened before - but they haven't happened to YOU before! You find yourself accepting advice and information - from those who know and those who don't."
