It was a long while afterward before a bugler blew the first call to reveille, which is the "Army alarm clock," the signal to rise.
"Attention!" called the corporal, a few minutes afterward.
All the dozers sprang to their feet, standing at attention.
The officer of the day entered, looking over the men.
Then his glance fell upon the recruits.
"You are new men joining?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," Hal and Noll answered, presenting their orders.
"Corporal, when mess call sounds send a private of the guard with these men to put them in D Company's mess for their first meal."
"Very good, sir."
"Overton and Terry, you will report at the adjutant's office promptly at nine o'clock."
