507th Parachute Infantry
Get PDFForeword:
Reminiscent of another era ... this book will mellow with the years -- and serve as a reminder of the days of our youth. It will enable us to turn back the pages that the years have tended to shroud in darkness and forgetfulnes, reviving dormant memories and clearing the haze from images and situations long since recorded and now stored away.
It has often been said that time changes everything. Disagreeable details, fatiguing marches, and the G.I. way of doing things will become vague and distorted in our mind\u27s eye, and thence emerge in our fancy as being the good old days.
Our rehabilitation, necessitated by the war. has torn down barriers which formerly restricted our vision and understanding and has given our outlook a broader scope. This conflict accelerated the tempo of our lives and will influence the channel our careers shall follow when the war is over.
The staff. therefore, feels that the occasion warrants the publication of this book. We hope that we have successfully mirrored the aims and activities of the 507th Parachute Infantry. To the men of the regiment. good luck and -- Godspeed.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/ww_reg_his/1125/thumbnail.jp
592nd Technical School Squadron, Gulfport Field, Army Air Forces Training Command
Get PDFBasic Training Center No. 11 was activated at Gulfport Field on July 14, 1943. The center was in full operation by the time it was formally established. Raw recruits were being received in a steady flow from reception centers.
The Basic Training Center takes the recruits, lectures them on military customs and courtesy, on basic military principles and rules. These men are taught to drill. They become soldiers.
During his stay in the Basic Training Center, every phase of the recruit\u27s civilian life is studied. His education, his civilian background, his aptitude for specific types of work-all are closely examined. His military classification is then determined after a study of these factors and in almost every instance the recruit\u27s preference coincides with the scientific determination of his abilities.
Gulfport Field is located along the coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico. Here, beneath the semi-tropical sun of one of the nation\u27s most famous resort areas, students and permanent party men alike divide their time with duty, recreation and physical training. Men who guide the destiny of Gulfport Field realize that soundness of body is essential to an alert, active life. Drill and calisthenics keep muscles toned and provide a refreshing change from the long hours of duty.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/ww_reg_his/1207/thumbnail.jp
