Off for a hike

Title
Off for a hike
LC Subject
Armed Forces Soldiers
Description
After the training has advanced so that the men are accustomed to various marching tactics, and are hardened to the work the “hikes” begin. And we see columns of men, who a few weeks before would take a street car if they had more than six blocks to walk, swinging off at an easy gait for an all day hike, or possibly a several days’ trip. Usually on the march they have a short rest of ten minutes every hour, for total relaxation, after which they are in good conditions for the next fifty minutes of strenuous marching.
