大制服

  在聖安東尼奧的萊克蘭空軍基地的頭三天,我們被從一個地方趕到另一個地方去理發、照相、領制服。回到營房之後,訓練指導員讓我們穿上制服,在營房前原地解散。但是,我些制服特別大。我們列隊的時候,中士和他的副手就站在門邊。「我們得將一些人弄回去重新量一下,」他說,「最後那個人走了兩步,他的制服才動。」

Large Uniforms

During our first three days at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, we were herded from place to place for haircuts, shots and uniforms. Back in our barracks, the drill instructor told us to put on our uniforms and fall out in front of the building. Some of the uniforms, however, were extremely large. As we filed outside, the sergeant stood by the door with his assistant. "We have to take some of these people back for refitting," he said. "That last man took two steps before his uniform moved."
