520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Between the two world wars, the United States Army was "a school, an athletic club, an orphan's home, and a boy's camp." That description of Victor Vogel's "old army", in which he enlisted as a private in 1934, gives a small hint at how old-fashioned the army was in an age of isolationism and meager congressional appropriations. In the pre-World War II army, cavalry troops were still mounted, horses pulled artillery carriages, and mules pulled supply wagons. The soldiers' basic weapon was the Springfield rifle, which was virtually an enemy itself as the men learned to fight its vicious recoil. The starting pay for a private was twenty-one dollars, and between 1922 and 1942 that sum did not increase, nor did base pay for men of any rank, and promotions were few and far between.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. The all-volunteer army served the country as professional soldiers for reasons of patriotism or adventure or even economics, since monthly pay of twenty-one dollars was to some men better than nothing and better than charity. Many men reenlisted time and time again. Whether a private was stationed in Texas or New Jersey for his three-year hitch, he first had basic training, the length of which varied according to how long it took each soldier to master the fundamental skills of the infantryman. If an enlisted man grew tired of the disciplined life where he had no responsibility except to follow basic orders, he could purchase an honorable discharge. If he couldn't come up with the cash from his twenty-one dollar pay envelope or winnings from poker or dice, he could go AWOL and after ninety days the army would simply remove the soldier from the rolls with a court-martial in absentia and a dishonorable discharge.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. In simple, straightfoward chapters Vogel descibes the various aspects of routine duty he experienced as an enlisted man of Company A, 9th Infantry Regiment. Stationed in Texas, where the largest number of old army troops were concentrated, Vogel went on training exercies as well as hunting trips in the Hill Country surrounding Fort Sam Houston. On these field exercises he encountered teh northers, toad stranglers, rattlesnakes, and cactus that were new to a Missiour small-town boy. Vogel's vignette of how he discovered the draft, which overwhelmed the old army with its sheer numbers, and fought European battles unlike those his training had anticipated, bring the old army and new army into sharp contrast.
