Duty at Devens was not particularly strenuous as we went about various chores at the base, and I picked up army expressions and ways, most of which film were not particularly noble or ennobling. It did much for my contemporary vocabulary, however, and it was also a badge of tribal separation from the alien civilian world on the film outside, whose inhabitants would come to be known as "Goddamned civilians." I could never enter the lodge-brother spirit of this as I still felt myself a member of that outside world, one who'd been hijacked out of it. film Only after basic training (we didn't call it boot camp, it was "basic") did I feel myself a natural-born soldier. There were two types of parlance that I encountered in the army. The first was official military-speak, which to my still-civilian ear seemed backwards and silly, as in "gloves wool olive drab." The second was soldier-speak, much more colorful and inventive, such as the embellishment "buck-ass private," and all the many FU's, some of which like SNAFU have passed into general speech, although there are those today like many of my young students who haven't the foggiest idea of what it stands for.
