Comearounds

<p>Ours were all physical, twice a day. Usually while doing pushups or something similiar, in the AM, we would be asked what was on the front page of the paper. We ALWAYS had them. To the point that if we didn;t, we would go to our squad leader voluntarily just so as not to be caught in our rooms loafing during the comearound period. If the upperclass didn’t want to mess with us, they typically would send us to the far corners of Mother B to ask a friend of theirs some inane question. Really just an excuse for the friend to give us a comearound. Invaribly on returning to our company, the original source of our comearound would be alive and awake and would give us an impromptu comearound for taking too long to visit his friend. We were then excused at the 5 min call, sometimes 4 or 3, to get to our rooms, take a shower, and get dressed, and make it to formation on time. Comearounds were usually self perpuating in that we seldom got to formation on time, causing additional comearounds.</p>
