Basic Training
When my grandfather was in basic training, several years before Vietnam, in order to reach the mess hall the recruits had to cross monkey bars, while an officer would look on. The pit below the monkey bars was muddy in the best of times, but right after it rained, if you fell, you would sink into the mud to your waist. This vignette shows several recruits crossing the monkey bars.
