ARTILLERY CRATES might
not be comfortable, but they do
the job. When 1LT Edwin San-
ford discovered that thieves had
taken the benches thatseated75
children in a little schoolhouse,
he found a fast substitute. Lieu-
tenant Sanford, civil affairs of-
ficer for the 4th Battalion, 12th
Infantry, 199th Light Infantry
Brigade, sent a truckload of
empty crates to the school at
Thu Due for temporary seats.
Meanwhile, men from the bri-
gade built permanent benches.
By the end of the day, the child-
ren had their new seats, and
they didn't miss even an hour
of school.
STANLEY, the canine mascot
of Headquarters Troop, 11th
Armored Cavalry Regiment,
has given birth to seven puppies.
This may not sound like much
of an achievement for a dog,
but how about a dog suffering
from shell shock? Stanley was
injured as a result of being too
close to a Viet Cong claymore
mine when it went off. Despite
this setback, Stanley took the
births in her shaky stride. With
seven new bounceless mascots,
the Regiment will send Stanley
to Sacramento, Calif., to be
reunited with her owner, Jeff
Williams, who was on active
duty at the time. (ANF)
0CS—Total Challenge
Army Officer Candidate School is rough. There are no
two ways about it. You learn that from the opening day—
that is, if you have what it takes to be selected in the
first place.
You work hard, study hard, and rest little. No one ever
became an OCS graduate the easy way. There is no easy
way.
Why should you want to go to
OCS if it is so difficult? Simply,
because the advantages make it
worthwhile. You will be a soldier,
physically, mentally, and morally
equipped to handle the responsi-
bilities of a leader in today's mod-
ern Army.
You must, however, take a good
look at yourself before filling out the application papers.
Do you truly want to be a leader of others? Do you wel-
come the added burdens of responsibility that come with
a commission? Officers are required to make important
decisions, initiate ideas, and, in many cases, carry the load
of others.
Soldiers who do not want increased responsibility should
not apply.
Do you have the determination? Determination is one
of the most important traits that an officer candidate must
possess. If you are down physically, you can be built up;
if you are weak academically, you can be tutored. But it
is the grit to keep going when the chips are down that
is so difficult to acquire.
It is a long, hard road from candidacy to commission.
Only if you are a strong and persevering soldier can you
earn your bars through Officer Candidate School. But once
this has been accomplished, you will take pride in your-
self such as individuals in other fields seldom experience.
Meeting one of the greatest challenges you will ever face,
you will come out on top... a commissioned officer in
the United States Army. (ANF)
New Discharge Certificates Due
UoSo Army personnel being
discharged after Dec. 15, 1967,
will be issued a new discharge
certificate.
The size of the certificate
has been changed, and the U.S.
Eagle is now printed in full
color. The words "Army of the
U nited States" have been chang-
ed to "United States Army."
A green vinyl folder with the
war office seal stamp on the
front cover will be made avail-
able exclusively for encasing
the discharge certificate prior
to issuing or mailing it. (ANF).
