Get a little rest
at this time if possible.
10. After dinner a short rest is usually allowed before the
afternoon drill. Take advantage of this opportunity; get off your
feet and rest. Be quiet so that your tent mates may rest.
11. Following the afternoon drill there is a short intermission
before the ceremony of retreat. During this time take a quick bath,
shave, get into the proper uniform for retreat, shine your shoes and
brush your clothes and hat. Be the neatest man in the company.
12. Supper usually follows retreat.
13. After supper, you usually have some spare time until taps. The
Y. M. C. A. generally provides a place supplied with Bibles,
newspapers, good magazines, and writing material. Don't be ashamed
to read the Bible. Don't forget to write to the folks back home.
14. Be in bed with lights out at taps. After taps and before
reveille, remain silent, thus showing consideration for those who
are sleeping or trying to sleep.
