During our first three days at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio， we were herded①from place to place for haircuts， shots and uniforms. Back in our barracks②， the drill instructor told us to put on our uniforms and fall out in front of the building. Some of the uniforms， however， were extremely large. As we filed outside， the sergeant③stood by the door with his assistant. “We have to take some of these people back for refit④，” he said. “That last man took two steps before his uniform moved.”

大制服
在圣安东尼奥的莱克兰空军基地的头三天，我们被从一个地方赶到另一个地方去理发、照相、领制服。回到营房之后，训练指导员让我们穿上制服，在营房前原地解散。但是，我些制服特别大。我们列队的时候，中士和他的副手就站在门边。“我们得将一些人弄回去重新量一下，”他说，“最后那个人走了两步，他的制服才动。”
