Victoria, B.C. 5/ I think it is a mistake to make a non con out of a 12 day old recruit, he has too much to learn at once & too much to see to a great many of the Jobs I have to do I must first find out the routine of such as calling up & putting through its routine the daily sick parade which after seeing a sergent then an Officer goes to the Hospital bent & stands about in the rain till the Red X Orderlies have given them a full & in most cases ordered them back to drill. as many men report sick Just to escape drill or fatigue duty a L.C. does not have to do any fatuige but in that way he loses as much of the fatuige Jobs are short ones & you get time to do a lot of add Jobs such as clean buttons & boots or wash towell & tidy up your kit.
