AFTERNOON INSTRUCTION: First call, 1.20 p.m. Assembly, 1.30 p.m. Recall, 4,30 p.m. Same general procedure as for morning work. SICK CALL, 4.45 p.m.--When the sick report is sent to the hospital in the afternoon, it is customary to make a new entry for all men who are in the hospital. In this way a running account is kept and quickly referred to without running all through the book. The time from recall to retreat at 5.30 or thereabouts can usually be used to advantage in cleaning up and getting ready for this ceremony. RETREAT.--(Formal--on the parade grounds). First call, 5.30 p.m. Assembly, 5.35 p.m. Retreat, 5.50 p.m. MESS: First call, followed by mess call, 6.00 p.m. Assembly, 6.05 p.m. SCHOOL CALL (except Saturdays), 7.00 p.m. TATTOO, 9.00 p.m. CALL TO QUARTERS, 9.30 p.m. TAPS, 9.45 p.m. At taps lights should be out and absolute quiet should prevail. This rule should be insisted upon from the very beginning of the training period. A check roll call is often taken at taps and the company reported to the Officer of the Day. Likewise, the company is reported to the Officer of the Day at reveille, retreat and mess formations; however, these things are determined entirely by local conditions. SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS.--Calls are 1/2 hour later, except retreat, tattoo, call to quarters and taps. In case an entertainment is given on the post, taps usually follow its close by a half hour. DETAILS for any day should be published at retreat formation the day previous; bulletins and notices should also be published to the company at this formation. PAPER WORK.--Paper work in the Army is generally viewed askance. A certain amount of it is absolutely necessary, but the amount can be reduced by careful attention to the way in which the work is done. A good first sergeant and a good company clerk will take a load of trouble off the shoulders of the company commander in this respect; but usually these men must be trained. Instructions on the blank forms should be carefully read the first time a certain paper is made out. Attend to all paper work promptly and make a note of anything that cannot be handled immediately. Do not let anything get into the company files until it has been O.K'd. by the company commander or initialed by the officers. Have a basket for the company commander and one for the other officers where they may expect to find matters that are of interest to them. Get reports, requisitions and other papers in on time. Do not wait until they are called for. Establish a daily, as well as a monthly, system of doing things in the orderly room and then stick to it as nearly as possible. Have a file for: 1. General orders, post and W.D. 2. Special orders. 3. Memorandums, bulletins and notices may be included under this head. 4. Company orders. 5. Document file (copies of letters, etc.).
