Jack and Jill went over the hill.

Universal Military Training will always be a problem...

Is this another one of those posts that was supposed to be an answer on another thread?

Appears to make no sense at all.

And they was THREE when they came back; They had been skipping the AHH, UUUM uuuh, watcha-ma-callit lectures about VD and such things.

When they began letting women join the regular Army along with the men it was called Universal Military Training.

In the good ole days, Bob, when you were in the Army and you went over the hill, that meant you were AWOL.

I am aware of UMT, was in effect in 1956 or so when I entered the Army. All eligible men had to serve eight years miilitary service, Active, Reserve, inactive Reserve combined. Was established by Eisenhower when he was President.

Also very aware of the term "over the hill" having heard it on a few occasions.

My confusion was the lack of information in the original post. To whom is the "Jack and Jill" referring? Or what occasion?

Its a Nursery Rhyme

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

Jack & Jill went up the hill & they each had a buck & a quarter, Jill came down with two fifty & they sure didn't go up for water.

 

[Bull Barrel]

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jill laid down
Jack went to town
And now they have a daughter.
