00:27This week the editors of
00:29Strife, your weekly news magazine,
00:32review the many steps necessary
00:33in the making of a soldier.
00:35Strife,
00:36Foges on.
00:37And on October 29, 1940,
00:41the draft numbers are drawn
00:42from that now famous
00:44goldfish bowl.
00:46And as the drawing continues,
00:49Strife magazine is proud to present
00:51the first one to feel the full effects
00:53of the draft.
00:56Strife, Foges on.
00:57And following up the next number
00:59drawn,
01:00oh, oh, oh, oh,
01:01we find that it's
01:03Mr. Bear of the Big North Woods
01:05and his present occupation
01:07is hibernating.
01:20I'll head in.
01:35Tell Graham,
01:37you're in the army now.
01:39You're not behind the plow.
01:40You'll never get rich.
01:42You're in the army now.
02:13Yes, sir.
02:14very special accommodations.
02:16Then, all the accommodations here
02:18are of the very best.
02:20All the modern conveniences,
02:22such as stall showers.
02:28And, of course,
02:30plenty of good old-fashioned home cooking.
02:33But we'd better hurry over to the gate
02:35because here comes that lucky winner,
02:40all set for that nice long vacation.
02:47He's going to have a swell time.
02:56Yes, sir.
03:06The End
03:40And now that he's made up his mind to join the army, the rookie must first answer a few simple
03:49questions.
03:49Okay, buddy, what's your name?
03:51Yes or no?
03:53You'll hear it or not hear it.
03:54Who's that lady?
03:56Who do you want?
03:57Anyway, who's your...
03:58What's your name?
04:00Next, you must be photographed or shocked in four poses.
04:06Right and left profile, front view, and behind.
04:12And now for that all-important physical examination.
04:16As you can see, old Bruin is not average.
04:21No, sir.
04:23He's perfect.
04:26What a figure.
04:27What a...
04:28What a bust.
04:31Flat feet like these...
04:37Used to be surefire exemption, but not anymore.
04:48Good teeth are important.
04:50And with the aid of modern X-ray...
04:56Each tooth is carefully examined for any sign of cavities.
05:02Ah, there's a dandy.
05:04And look at this one.
05:07Fixing teeth like these is a major project.
05:15And sometimes a little bridge work is necessary.
05:20And now, with the examination over...
05:23He gets that final okay.
05:26In the end.
05:29Happy?
05:31Yes, sir.
05:33Because now, he gets that new uniform.
05:36And a gun.
05:38And besides all of this regulation equipment...
05:41He gets a gas mask.
05:43Which is thoroughly tested.
05:51And these little wedgies are really built for service.
05:57Because the first step in the rookies' training is...
06:01Left, right, left, right.
06:04Yes, marching.
06:06Marching mile after mile every day...
06:09With full military equipment.
06:11And a full regulation pack.
06:18Three miles.
06:20Four miles.
06:22Five miles.
06:24Under a hot, blazing sun.
06:26Six, seven, eight, nine, ten miles.
06:30And he's tired.
06:32Yes, and his dogs are tired, too.
06:36A short rest and it's...
06:39Forward march again.
06:42And now, those dogs really begin to bark.
06:49Pretty soon, they feel just like...
06:52Yes, hot dogs.
06:56And they're getting hotter.
06:59And hotter.
07:00And hotter.
07:02And if that rookie's got any corns...
07:05They're gonna pop.
07:07And there they go.
07:34Go, Grimm!
