E, ENGINEER,
Who lays out the plot,
F the "FIRST AID,"
With stretcher and cot;
G is the "GUARD,"
Our "Border-Patrol"--
H is HEADQUARTERS,
The high-ranking role.
I is the INFANTRY,
That's hot on the Hike,
J is JAW-BONE,
Oh, "Pay-as-you-like";
K is the KITCHEN,
Where they turn out the "stew,"
L is LANCE-CORPORAL.
Who ranks just a few;
M is the MESS,
Where the rations are served,
N is "NON-COM,"
Whose "Stripes" are deserved;
O is the OFFICER,
"Spick and so span,"
P is the PRISONER,
Who's "under the ban,"
Q is the QUARTERS,
With "lights out at Taps,"
R is the ROOKIE,
Whom everyone raps,
S is the SERGEANT,
Who keeps 'em in line,
