Memories of my Army Basic Trainig in fort Leonard, Missourri back in Feb 1987

Move!/
Wait!/
Hurry!/
Yes, Sergeant!/
Make your buddy smile!/
Straighten ranks; fix your intervals!/
You have twenty seconds and ten are already gone!/
You are no longer new recruits, you are now soldiers; congratulations!/
