you plan to make the best of what you have. One such guide is to remember the word S-A-T–SAVE, ADD TO, TAKE CARE OF Maintaining Your Health Good physical health is essential to survival under any circumstances. It is especially important in a POW camp where living conditions are crowded and food and shelter are lacking. That means you must use every device possible to keep yourself well. Soap  and  water  provide  a  basic  preventive medicine;  so  keep  clean.  If  water  is  scarce,  collect rainwater, use dew, or simply rub yourself daily with a cloth or your bare hands. Pay attention to areas on your body  that  are  likely  to  develop  rash  and fungus infection–your crotch, your scalp, and between your toes. 15-28 Student Notes: CODE OF CONDUCT ARTICLE I I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense. ARTICLE II I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. ARTICLE III If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. ARTICLE IV If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way. ARTICLE V When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, service number and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or harmful to their cause. ARTICLE VI I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
