A group of friEnds who had been uninspiRed by school, and who were poorly educated as a result, all joined the army at the same time. Because of their low educational achievements, and much to their dislike, part of their week was taken up with lessons. This time there was no messing about with the military discipline imposed. Slowly they started learning what was essential for being in the army. But at the moment, the sergeant had left the room and they slipped into their idle ways and were messing about. All of a sudden, Jack called out "Look out - sarge is coming. Time to get back to those sentences we are supposed to parse." In a flash they were back in their seats and looking suitably studious. Next week when the sergeant came into the lesson, he reprimanded the recruits. "Up until last week you had been improving. But you have slipped back this last week. You have to raise your game if you want to complete this recruitment process. Otherwise you will have to repeat a year and none of you want that, do you?"
