That is exactly the way I learned it c1960. I think it was the late 70's that a lot of stuff got "modernized" (early woke). No more mess hall now it's now a dining facility. The mission of the Infantry was "To close with and kill the enemy" now it's " To close with the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to defeat or capture him, or to repel his assault by fire, close combat " . I guess it should be updated again to have all the proper pronouns.
