Mail Call for All A.A.s in the Armed Forces

A rigid disciplinarian, a fine doctor, a good officer--above all, a gentleman--ordered me to sit down. "Your offense against the Navy is a serious one. For it, you could be shot. I know you're a sick man, but the Navy cannot afford to recognize you as such. My suggestion to you is simply this. You can't stop drinking by yourself. When you learn that, you have started back. I would recommend A.A.; it might work."
