Chapter 5: 'You Dizzy Bastard, Get in Step'

In this chapter as I read I couldn't imagine hearing all those bugles every day, all day. After I got done reading this chapter I automatically thought back to when my dad made me cut the grass in our yard. It was not harsh or strenuous work, but I just remember him making the comment when I asked for a break he said “five minutes, that’s all we would get in the military.” I just think about how hard the military was, and then I think about Chilocco and the comment one of the students made saying he had been in the marines for a tour of 23 years that was easy compared to Chilocco. I had to laugh to myself when I read that.
