The 24-page soft-cover booklet covers proper drill procedures and a manual of arms and is profusely illustrated with images of Bugs Bunny as the Drill Instructor and Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and some other non-descript cartoon characters trying to do what the rabbit is ordering, sometimes with comical consequences.
While the illustrations were not created by a Disney artist, Donald Duck at least is pretty true to character.
UPDATE: September 14, 2008
I have received several requests asking that I show some of the illustrations found in the booklet. So, here they are...not all of them, but a representative sampling. Enjoy!

Very nice piece. I like how all the cartoon characters interact. This is Roger Rabbit 40 years before the film.
David,
Your Welcome! I have been a follower of your blog for quite some time but only recently started my own blog. It finally dawned on me that I should add you to my list for ease of my own reading and help to spread the amazing research you have done.
I do love your blog some amazing material that several of my friends and I have had some great discussion talking about what you have posted! So keep up the good word and I look forward to what you continue to post!
I do agree talking to the vets themselves is always very riveting and one can learn so much about what they went through

Opps I almost forgot to add my comment to the post itself! I absolutely love this drill booklet. I wish other manual of arms and drill books could be put so interesting to read. It is also great to see the characters they chose to put in this one!
