How many remember when the CO's lived on the building? Do you recall when all the Corps bills had to be paid before the CO received his/her /their allowance? How many recall the only vehicle a Corps had was a black station wagon which had to display a large red shield on each of the front doors? Perhaps you remember having to do a Tavern Route twice a week just to make ends meet. Do your memories include when the CO had to work a secular job because the Corps could not pay allowance at all?
Not many actually have these memories anymore. Some will say we have come a long way since those days.
Have We?
I remember all of the above and DID most of the above, except the twice a week tavern route. That was only once a week.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to ask about driving hundreds of miles to sell the Christmas and Easter War Crys -- the only time the rest of the county would see you!!
