dwell in the kitchen forever.

Unto all things there is a time: there is a time to spe&x
and a time to be silent; be thou like unto stone in the
presence of thy superiors, and keep thy tongue still when
they shall call for volunteers.

The wise man searcheth out the easy details, but only a
fool sticketh out his neck.

Look thou with disfaver upon the newly made corporal; he
prizeth much his stripes:and is proud and foolish; he
laugheth and joketh much with the older noncoms.and looketh
upon the private with a frown.

He would fain go to OCS, but he is not qualified.

Know thou that the Sergeant of the Mess is a man of many
moods: when he looketh pleased and his words are like
honey, the wise KP seeketh him out and praiseth his chow
and lautheth much at his jests:

But when he moveth with great haste and the sweat standet
on his brow and he curseth under his breath, make thyself
searce; for he will fall like a whirlwind upon the fale and
the goldbrick shall know his wrathe

The Supply Sergeant is a lazy man and worketh nots; but he
is the keeper of many good things: if thou wouldst wear
well-fitting raiment and avoid the statement of charges,
make him thy friend.

He prizeth drunkenness above all things.

He careth not for praise or flattery, but lend him thy
lucre and thy liquor and he will love thee.

Hell hath no fury, like the Shavetail scorned: he walketh
with a swagger and regardeth the enlisted man with a raised
eyebrow; he leoketh upon his bars with exceeding pleasure
and loveth a salute mightily.

Act thou lowly unto him and call him sir and he will love theee

Damned be he who standeth first in the line of chow and short-
steppeth the dessert and cinecheth the coffee.

He taketh from the meat dish with a heavy hand and leaveth
thee the bonyyvparte

He is thrice cursed, and all people, even unte the pfes,
will revile him and spit upon him: for his name is called
Chow Hound, and he is an abomination.

Know thou the Big Operator, but trust him net: he worketh
always upon a deal and he speaketh confidentially.

He knoweth many women and goeth into town every night; he
borreweth all thy money; yea, even unto thy ration check.
