OUR BOYS WITH THE COLORS
San Antonio, Texas - Pvt. Charles R. Rogers, age 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, 919 W. Coffin, Denison, Texas, is now in training at the AAF Military Training Center in San Antonio, Texas, where thousands of Air Corps basic trainees are undergoing a rigid 6-week basic training course designed to fit them for further specialized Air Corps instruction.
The basic training schedule includes instructions ranging from organization of the army and personal adjustment to the time-honored practice marches and close-order drill.
Over 20 subjects are covered in the 6-week course.
Theaters, service clubs, and Post Exchanges developed during 1942 when the post was a preflight aviation cadet training center, are now used by the basic trainees.  The Special Services Division of the post arranges special tours, dances and events for the newly-inducted men.
