New Type Training!
The "'old" type of basic trdn-
ing, still utilized everywhere ex-
cel)t in the two California sta-
tions, called upon the eonll)any
officers and non-corns to do all
the teaching ill addition to their"
administrative d u I i e s. Thi;

had a more-than-full4ime job of
feeding, housing, and earing for
his men, 1)lus another overlime
joh of teaching the recruits 1G
illfaltlry weapolls, tactics, first
aid, camouflage, and (lozell of
other basic military skills. Some
officers could ha,ndle this sched-
ule; others could * IlOt. Some off[-
cers had ()lie specialty; their as-

Reason for this is that the facul-
