Yet I am convinced that what will best control the Plattsburg rookie is the Plattsburg non-com.
The General entered the boat, and McGilveray followed with some non-com.
It is customary, when a rookie has been made a non-com in training, to reduce him immediately when he gets to France.
He was thought to be a "deffle of a dog" in the mess, where the non-com officers had tea at small writing and card tables.
