Buglers

In addition to my musical instruction, I will have a great deal to learn to be a competent bugler. I will not only learn to read maps and use the compass but I will also learn to make sketches and overlays for the use of others. I will learn to operate radios and to communicate with others by pyrotechnics and other visual means.

Also of extreme importance is my training as a scout and messenger. I will learn to select the best routes of travel, both by road and cross country, the best methods of concealment and camouflage, and how to travel swiftly and unerringly to a place indicated by a mere pin-prick on a map. I will learn to repeat messages accurately without mistakes.

When my training is completed, I will be assigned to a unit in which I will be not only the bugler but also a qualified messenger and scout.
