Leonard Wood. The purpose of the extended time in the field-formerly bivouac here was only one night-is to give the trainee a better knowledge of out- door living. "You can tell a man a hundred times in a class room that he has to keep his mess kit clean," says Drill Sergeant Bobby L. Jones, "but until he gets out here and lives with it, he hasn't learned anything. If he fails to keep it clean during these five days he sees his mistake, he gets sick. It takes only once and it's a lot better to have it happen here than in Vietnam." Training during the bivouac period is on an individual level.
