EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID
It's Js iVear As AER Office
HQ, USCONARC - Know
where to turn for emergency
financial aid? Help may be at
the nearest Army Emergency
Relief (AER) Office. All United
States Continental Army Com-
mand installations have AER
available to those with a gen-
uine need for assistance.
In keeping with its motto,
"The Army Takes Care of Its
Own," the AER has given fi-
nancial assistance to thousands
of military personnel and de-
pendents since the program's
inception in 1942.
Assistance maybe in the form
of loans without interest; or
grants, whenever repayment
would cause undue hardship.
Some of the more common
situations in which emergency
financial help is rendered in-
clude: loss of pay or other

personal funds; emergency
medical, dental and hospital
expenses; travel expenses dur-
ing an emergency leave, and
emergency transportation of
dependents including expenses
involved in meeting port calls.
AER statistics for August
show that in USCONARC alone,
3,242 cases were handled, and
$391,052.67 was loaned or
granted.
Major General George A.
Carver (RET), Army-wide AER
director, said, "The turbulence
created by the war in Vietnam
and the resultant shifting of
personnel throughout the Army,
both in the CONUS and over-
seas, has added considerably to
the number of requests for
emergency financial assis-
tance."
The true meaning of "emer-
gency need" must be under-
stood. One AER officer told of
a young soldier who became
very angry when he was told
that AER could not lend him
money to purchase a new car.
The AER officer asked the young
soldier to sit down while she
showed him six or eight real
emergency cases including sud-
den illness and death in a
family, which she had handled
that week. The young soldier
withdrew his request for a loan
and said he always had sup-
ported AER and intended to con-
tinue doing so.
Men and women of the Army
should be thoroughly familiar
with the way AER works, how it
helps and what it provides, as
outlined in AR 910-10, Army
Emergency Relief. Even those
who may have had their own re-
quests for AER help rejected
for cause, must realize that
in cases of genuine need, AER
does do its merciful mission and
does deserve the support of all.
2nd WOC Company
Candidates of 2nd WOC have
.learned that there is more to
being a senior than possession
of the title implies. One must
have the ability to give and take
responsibility, always be in the
position to set the example, and
be able to wield a mean paint
brush. Preparation for an IG
inspection was the scene around
the billets this past weekend,
and the paint did flow. Inherent
with activities of this nature are
the usual queries and com-
ments: "Does anybody have any
paint thinner?" "And just who
told you, Candidate, that it was
all right to paint your room
magenta?" "Hey John, look out
for those paint cans (CRASH!
SPLAT! *@#&%#*!!) behind the
door!" "Liquor, Sir? No, Sir.
I said pass the lacquer."

CLASS 68-5
With two weeks of advance
flying behind us, the candidates
of 3rd WOC are starting to feel
like aces.
After flying some 50 hours in
the pattern, we feel relieved to
be able to get a look at some
of the surrounding area. Since
we rely completely on our maps
we are now starting to realize
why map reading has been
stressed so much.
With cross-country almost
here everyone is paying quite
a bit of attention to Frank Casey,
our navigation instructor. Mr,
Casey being an ex-Army bom-
ber navigator with numerous
hours in the air, makes it seem
as if you cannot miss your
destination. We will know soon
enough when we start our cross-
country trips,,
WOC CARROLL G. ALLEN
CLASS 68-7
Rounding the last corner and
heading down the home stretch,
the Blue Hats are in the pro-
cess of finishing up primary
flight trainings Most of the stan-
dardization rides are yet to
come but the spirit of the class
is at a high level with the thought
of the holiday seasons near at
hand.
Work is progressing on the
class book and the WOC Hall
of Fame project.
Everyone is looking forward
to meeting his military IP and
getting to work on confined
areas and advanced flight.
With senior status not far
away, 3rd WOC Company ea-
gerly awaits the approach of the
next few weeks.

The Brown Hats wish to con-
gratulate the Orange Hats on
their win of the basketball game
on the 17th. Next week we'll
bounce back and be ready for
the Purple Hats. Keep practic-
ing, Brown Hats!
Congratulations to Candidate
Jerry L. Overturf, whose wife
gave birth to a baby girl, Lisa
Gay, on November 15.
We are finishing our primary
phase of instruction now. A few
of us haven't had the pleasure
of a "stan ride" yet, but we are
looking forward to it. By the

TIGER OF THE WEEK'
WOC WILLIAM N. JANES, 21,
was selected last week at Flight
A-8's "Tiger of the Week."
Each week Flight A-8, the "Ti-
ger" flight, selects a deserving
student for the title based on
outstanding flight achievement,
attitude, appearance and mili-
tary achievement. Candidate
Janes, a native of Dallas, Tex.,
is in the Second WOC Company.
He reported here following
basic training at Fort Polk., La.
areas of advanced training.
We are now three weeks away
from senior status and all of
the additional responsibilities
and privileges that it entails. We
Brown Hats realize that the em-
phasis is on responsibility, not
privileges. Every company on
the hill will be looking to us as
examples of the proper military
bearing, appearance and ac-
tions. This means, of course,
that we will not throw water bal-
loons at senior candidates, nor
will we have more than one sen-
ior candidate correcting a jun-
ior candidate at one time. When
the Brown Hats become seniors,
the hill will receive the type of
leadership that it needs and de-
serves, because we understand
that before a senior corrects
a junior, he must first correct
himself.
WOC JOHN H„ JOHNSTON
8th WOC Compamr
With three weeks left here
at Fort Wolters, the 8th WOC
Company is as busy as a hive
of bees. Our IG inspection is
fast approaching and we are
functioning just like one big ma-
chine.
It's good for the heart to
see everyone putting out like
they have this last weekend.
Efficiency was at its highest
and everyone was pulling to-
gether like a real team.
A 'of of improvement has been
m<x^ this company and we
have "esprit de corps" that is
unmatched anywhere on "the
hill." After being here for 17
weeks and growing and matur-
ing with the help of the cadre,
we now feel equal to the chal-
lenge and that is the motto or
our class: "Challenge Offers
The Best Road to Achieve-
ment."
The 8th WOC has met the
challenge and we are better for
it.
