Speaker 6 (10:14):
Right, retreat parade is still just the same, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
How did you get on this post? Very simple?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
I just told the Century I wanted to enlist in
the army.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
What do you want, Benyon, I wasn't lying to the Centry.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I wanted enlist.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You don't have any use for the army. You didn't
while you were in going to try to talk me
out of it. Come in?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Then?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Didn't that pocal game turn out too well?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
That fella from Montana, he wasn't as tired as he
looked to clean me out. So I guess I'm not
going to San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Men don't usually enlist in the army for just a
meal and a bed.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Oh that's right, Captain, generally find a.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Meal in a bed. Any please, Why do you want
to get back in the army? Venyon?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Now, Once before I filled out an enlistment blank, and
I saw things asking me my full name, and where
I was from, and how old, and if I had
prior service and all things like that. I never saw
a line on one of them asking why.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
For Mercer? Yes, sir, you tell the doctor I have
a recruit to be examined. Yes, yeah, build this out. Sure,
if you're physically acceptable, I'll swear you in tonight.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh, I got a civilian horse and some other things
back in town.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Then you can go back to town and dispose of them.
Report back here first thing in the morning. Yeah, I
hope you know what you're doing, Benyon.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I thought on it long time.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I thought of it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
M h.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Old, President of accounted for Sir, all right, Tajian dismissed
the company.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yes, sir, man.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Bits the sergeant cars, Yes, sir, I want to talk
to you. We you have a new man coming in today,
sergeant non commissioned officer, non concert. That's right, this company,
(13:34):
this company he transfer out here, sir, he re enlisted.
It's Will Banyon ban Banion served six years. He was
entitled to three stripes coming in, Captain. What is it?
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Benyon never could forget. He was related to some officer
on the general staff in Washington. He held that up
in front of everybody. It was kind of touchy. Then
could be the same all over again.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
That isn't quite clear.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Well, some of the officers didn't know how to take
you neither did the men. He just got himself some
easy stripes.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Easier or not, he's got him. Sergeant.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
You asked me to keep this company running, Sir. I
like to keep it running. There's no place for Benyon
and me both. Now see you after mess Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Sir, I wouldn't nothing else to do. I left her
(14:47):
right there.
Speaker 13 (14:48):
I took the first stage and the shy.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
And I came on here.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
You weres avision about eight months, then.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Eight months, two weeks, three days and four.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Good morning, sir, Good morning, mister Washburn Banion. You may
be in civilian clothes right now, but you're in the
army again. Now get your feet. You know where the
mess hall is located?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
No, I think I can still remember.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
As soon as you've had your breakfast, report the sergeant Gorse.
He'll take you over the AQM stores, all right, sir,
mister Washburn, Yes, sir. Did you read the special orders
this morning? Yes, sir, I did. Did you notice that
(15:48):
Will Banion holds the rank of sergeant? Yes, sir, Then
just remember you hold a commission. He's a sergeant. Yes, sir,
but I thought I mean you and Sergeant Gorse. H.
You thought incorrectly, mister Washburn, Yes, sir, had your breakfast.
Speaker 14 (16:14):
No, sir, come on, Captain. Lieutenant Siwitz and I were
talking a while back. Sergeant Gorse isn't going to like
another sergeant around.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
He doesn't like it, mister Washburn, and I don't like it,
but we have to put up with it.
Speaker 13 (16:41):
Yes, sir, I'll remember that.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Housewife kid.
Speaker 9 (17:00):

(17:29):
canteen and mess out check check all right, storm away,
sergeant sure, Sart, when you're.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Squared away, report back here?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Sure, oh, Captain Sergeant bon Yes, sir, all right, yours
as you were? Yes, sir Gouse. Were you putting Benyon
(18:04):
with Corporal Hunter? Sir? Can you can you put him
in your quarters? Sir?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
I'd like him to live in your quarters. I just
assume he didn't, Captain, but that's the way we're going
to do it. Captain, I got to speak my mind, sir.
All right, no man ever come in this company. I
couldn't break in. But you're asking me to handle a
three striper that's got a general working for him in Washington.
You're asking me to treat him like a sergeant when
he ain't a good enough man to be a private
(18:32):
in anybody's company.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Sergeant, you told me to speak out, sir. Well, there's
only room for one sergeant here now, I'm telling you
to shut up, sergeant and stay shut. Yes, sir, that's
all cap'n Gwinn's reporting, sirm.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
Oh, at ease, Captain, I have a request from Sergeant
Gorse asking for transfer to Fort Lincoln. Oh, he gave
the reason that he intends to marry a girl living
in that area. It's a lie, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's not intended to marry anyone as far as I know, Sir.
Then it's Banyon. Sergeant Gors feels that Banyan's rank is unfair.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
It's up to you to convince him that Banyon's rank
was automatic when he re enlisted.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Sergeant Gors can't regard it in that light, Sir. He
feels that Banion's influence in Washington helped him get the rank.
Not only that, but Banion's rating moves back to the
others a whole notch.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
Your company could go sour because of him. I don't
intend to allow that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Captain, you'll transfer Banion.
Speaker 12 (19:58):
I'll transfer Gorse if that's what he wants.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Sir, Gorse is the most valuable man.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
I can't have this kind of discontent in the company.
And Gorse's requested transfer is rank and seniority in service
required me to give the request consideration. Wire Colonel Sailor
at Fort Lincoln today and ask if you accept Sergeant Gorse.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I'm sure i'd be glad to Major, could you would
you withhold that application? I don't want to lose Gorze
or o Banion.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
I'd expect to keep them both.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I thought i'd talk with Sergeant Gorse once more. The
impression ones that Banion's re enlistment was a casual thing.
No man enlists in the army casually. Yes, sir, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 12 (20:52):
And I'll set this aside till I hear from you.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 13 (21:07):
M kind of peaceful this way, I said, it's kind
of peaceful.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Captain.
Speaker 14 (21:21):
I like this time of night best on the post.
You do, But yes, sir, you know, I feel kind
of sorry. For cyberts pulling o d on a night
like this.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
A cigar, captain, huh oh, no thanks, I ain't gonna
take a stroll. I come along, I believe I come along,
mister Washburn.
Speaker 14 (21:45):
Well, yes, sir, Captain. Is it true I mean about
Sergeant Gorse wanting to transfer?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Why, yes, it's true.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
Because of banion. Sergeant Gorse is the best man I
ever seen in his job. Be difficult to replace him?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
It would, it would, indeed, evening, Captain, Lieutenant Hello, sergeant,
oh h, Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir, step over here with you.
(22:36):
I ask the Major not to act on your transferred
till tomorrow morning. Sergeant. All right, ken, chances are in
another outfit you'd meet another sergeant wearing stripes like yours.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
I guess that's right enough. But only one of us
should be wearing them here. What do you think, mister Washburn?
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Why?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
In all fairness? Well, I'm I'm inclined to agree with
Sergeant Gore, sir, so am I and I think Lieutenant
Sibritz would too. How's that, Captain? You heard me? There's
room for only one sergeant in this outfit. Why understand
(23:19):
the captain, it's not up to the major or myself
to settle this. It's the sergeant's business. Do I understand you, sir? Yeah?
I think you do. Yes, Sir, I think I do.
Will the captain and lieutenant excuse me? Sir? Good night?
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Sergeant Sir, he understood you, but I didn't.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
He's going to look up Sergeant Benyon mister Washburn, and
the chances are only one of them will be sergeant
by morning best man of the two, Yes, sir, but
who is the best man? Sergeant Gorse has just gone
to settle that question, I think, come on, mister Westburnain Captain,
(24:24):
Sir Banion, I have a request to make up. The captain, Sir,
what is it?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I wish to be relieved of my stripe?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Sir.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I thought you might request transfer, but I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Sir, not a transfer. I would want to stay here
in this company.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I see.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Once the captain asked me why I've re enlisted in
the army, I could answer the captain.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Go ahead, Banion, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I served in the Army once with a general back
of me. I failed that time. I thought I hated
the Army. I came back because I hated failing worse.
Does this make any sense.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
To the captain? Yes, guys, yes, sir, I.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Told the Captain. I thought about it before I came
back in, and I knew i'd have sergeant's pay. I
didn't know I was starting to fail again. I know
that now last night. Last night, Sergeant Gorse explained some
(25:45):
things to me, but we talked it over outside the fort.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Mm hmm what happened to your face?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I fell off my horse, sir.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
A good cavalry soldier falls off off his horse sometimes.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yes, thank you, Captain. I don't mean to again.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Wee oh morning, Major.
Speaker 12 (26:21):
Hey, isn't that will Banyon and Sergeant Gors together?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Why? Yes, sir? Where'd they fight it out off the compound? Sir? Yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Lee.
Speaker 12 (26:36):
Why did you let Banyon re enlist in the first place?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
He wanted to and he had guts enough to come
back here where he'd failed and try again.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
That coffee from the mess hall.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Smells good. Come on, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (27:19):

Little boys can be the most exasperating creatures on Earth,
they can also be very amusing and lovable. Indeed, a
CBS Radio dramatic series that makes the most of this
fact is that delightful program called My Son Jeep, heard
every evening Monday through Friday over most of these same stations,
focusing on the adventures and misadventures of the most normal
(29:06):
of all small boys. The story of My Sun Jeep
is hilarious and heartwarming by turns just like a hero.

hope you know what you're doing, Benyon.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
I thought on it long time.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I thought of it.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
M h.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Old, President of accounted for Sir, all right, Tajian dismissed
the company.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yes, sir, man.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Bits the sergeant cars, Yes, sir, I want to talk
to you. We you have a new man coming in today,
sergeant non commissioned officer, non concert. That's right, this company,
(13:34):
this company he transfer out here, sir, he re enlisted.
It's Will Banyon ban Banion served six years. He was
entitled to three stripes coming in, Captain. What is it?
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Benyon never could forget. He was related to some officer
on the general staff in Washington. He held that up
in front of everybody. It was kind of touchy. Then
could be the same all over again.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
That isn't quite clear.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Well, some of the officers didn't know how to take
you neither did the men. He just got himself some
easy stripes.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Easier or not, he's got him. Sergeant.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
You asked me to keep this company running, Sir. I
like to keep it running. There's no place for Benyon
and me both. Now see you after mess Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Sir, I wouldn't nothing else to do. I left her
(14:47):
right there.
Speaker 13 (14:48):
I took the first stage and the shy.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
And I came on here.
Speaker 13 (14:54):
You weres avision about eight months, then.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Eight months, two weeks, three days and four.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Good morning, sir, Good morning, mister Washburn Banion. You may
be in civilian clothes right now, but you're in the
army again. Now get your feet. You know where the
mess hall is located?
Speaker 5 (15:23):
No, I think I can still remember.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
As soon as you've had your breakfast, report the sergeant Gorse.
He'll take you over the AQM stores, all right, sir,
mister Washburn, Yes, sir. Did you read the special orders
this morning? Yes, sir, I did. Did you notice that
(15:48):
Will Banion holds the rank of sergeant? Yes, sir, Then
just remember you hold a commission. He's a sergeant. Yes, sir,
but I thought I mean you and Sergeant Gorse. H.
You thought incorrectly, mister Washburn, Yes, sir, had your breakfast.
Speaker 14 (16:14):
No, sir, come on, Captain. Lieutenant Siwitz and I were
talking a while back. Sergeant Gorse isn't going to like
another sergeant around.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
He doesn't like it, mister Washburn, and I don't like it,
but we have to put up with it.
Speaker 13 (16:41):
Yes, sir, I'll remember that.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Housewife kid.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Idol, lariot and hobbles lariot, hobbles, picket pin yah razor, mirror,
soap comb, right, two blankets, two blankets, bacon, can, curry comb, collar, ornaments, cross, saber, colt, revolver, Yeah, springfield, cabbing,
(17:29):
canteen and mess out check check all right, storm away,
sergeant sure, Sart, when you're.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Squared away, report back here?
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Sure, oh, Captain Sergeant bon Yes, sir, all right, yours
as you were? Yes, sir Gouse. Were you putting Benyon
(18:04):
with Corporal Hunter? Sir? Can you can you put him
in your quarters? Sir?
Speaker 9 (18:11):
I'd like him to live in your quarters. I just
assume he didn't, Captain, but that's the way we're going
to do it. Captain, I got to speak my mind, sir.
All right, no man ever come in this company. I
couldn't break in. But you're asking me to handle a
three striper that's got a general working for him in Washington.
You're asking me to treat him like a sergeant when
he ain't a good enough man to be a private
(18:32):
in anybody's company.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Sergeant, you told me to speak out, sir. Well, there's
only room for one sergeant here now, I'm telling you
to shut up, sergeant and stay shut. Yes, sir, that's
all cap'n Gwinn's reporting, sirm.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
Oh, at ease, Captain, I have a request from Sergeant
Gorse asking for transfer to Fort Lincoln. Oh, he gave
the reason that he intends to marry a girl living
in that area. It's a lie, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
He's not intended to marry anyone as far as I know, Sir.
Then it's Banyon. Sergeant Gors feels that Banyan's rank is unfair.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
It's up to you to convince him that Banyon's rank
was automatic when he re enlisted.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Sergeant Gors can't regard it in that light, Sir. He
feels that Banion's influence in Washington helped him get the rank.
Not only that, but Banion's rating moves back to the
others a whole notch.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
Your company could go sour because of him. I don't
intend to allow that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Captain, you'll transfer Banion.
Speaker 12 (19:58):
I'll transfer Gorse if that's what he wants.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Sir, Gorse is the most valuable man.
Speaker 12 (20:05):
I can't have this kind of discontent in the company.
And Gorse's requested transfer is rank and seniority in service
required me to give the request consideration. Wire Colonel Sailor
at Fort Lincoln today and ask if you accept Sergeant Gorse.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I'm sure i'd be glad to Major, could you would
you withhold that application? I don't want to lose Gorze
or o Banion.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
I'd expect to keep them both.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I thought i'd talk with Sergeant Gorse once more. The
impression ones that Banion's re enlistment was a casual thing.
No man enlists in the army casually. Yes, sir, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 12 (20:52):
And I'll set this aside till I hear from you.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 13 (21:07):
M kind of peaceful this way, I said, it's kind
of peaceful.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Captain.
Speaker 14 (21:21):
I like this time of night best on the post.
You do, But yes, sir, you know, I feel kind
of sorry. For cyberts pulling o d on a night
like this.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
A cigar, captain, huh oh, no thanks, I ain't gonna
take a stroll. I come along, I believe I come along,
mister Washburn.
Speaker 14 (21:45):
Well, yes, sir, Captain. Is it true I mean about
Sergeant Gorse wanting to transfer?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Why, yes, it's true.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
Because of banion. Sergeant Gorse is the best man I
ever seen in his job. Be difficult to replace him?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
It would, it would, indeed, evening, Captain, Lieutenant Hello, sergeant,
oh h, Sergeant Gorse, Yes, sir, step over here with you.
(22:36):
I ask the Major not to act on your transferred
till tomorrow morning. Sergeant. All right, ken, chances are in
another outfit you'd meet another sergeant wearing stripes like yours.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
I guess that's right enough. But only one of us
should be wearing them here. What do you think, mister Washburn?
Speaker 8 (22:56):
Why?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
In all fairness? Well, I'm I'm inclined to agree with
Sergeant Gore, sir, so am I and I think Lieutenant
Sibritz would too. How's that, Captain? You heard me? There's
room for only one sergeant in this outfit. Why understand
(23:19):
the captain, it's not up to the major or myself
to settle this. It's the sergeant's business. Do I understand you, sir? Yeah?
I think you do. Yes, Sir, I think I do.
Will the captain and lieutenant excuse me? Sir? Good night?
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Sergeant Sir, he understood you, but I didn't.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
He's going to look up Sergeant Benyon mister Washburn, and
the chances are only one of them will be sergeant
by morning best man of the two, Yes, sir, but
who is the best man? Sergeant Gorse has just gone
to settle that question, I think, come on, mister Westburnain Captain,
(24:24):
Sir Banion, I have a request to make up. The captain, Sir,
what is it?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I wish to be relieved of my stripe?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Sir.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
I thought you might request transfer, but I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Sir, not a transfer. I would want to stay here
in this company.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
I see.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Once the captain asked me why I've re enlisted in
the army, I could answer the captain.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Go ahead, Banion, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I served in the Army once with a general back
of me. I failed that time. I thought I hated
the Army. I came back because I hated failing worse.
Does this make any sense.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
To the captain? Yes, guys, yes, sir, I.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Told the Captain. I thought about it before I came
back in, and I knew i'd have sergeant's pay. I
didn't know I was starting to fail again. I know
that now last night. Last night, Sergeant Gorse explained some
(25:45):
things to me, but we talked it over outside the fort.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Mm hmm what happened to your face?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I fell off my horse, sir.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
A good cavalry soldier falls off off his horse sometimes.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yes, thank you, Captain. I don't mean to again.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Wee oh morning, Major.
Speaker 12 (26:21):
Hey, isn't that will Banyon and Sergeant Gors together?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Why? Yes, sir? Where'd they fight it out off the compound? Sir? Yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Lee.
Speaker 12 (26:36):
Why did you let Banyon re enlist in the first place?
Speaker 4 (26:39):
He wanted to and he had guts enough to come
back here where he'd failed and try again.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
That coffee from the mess hall.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Smells good. Come on, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
