With the schedule calling for
series of refresher courses in small

mounted marches brings back mem
ories of the days of intensive basic
training. During the breaks the men
gather in bull sessions and argue
which of the Replacement Training
Centers turned out the best trained
man. Camp Croft seems to rate high
est considering that the largest per-
centage of the men came from there
Also another source of much discus

Hughie l.. Lindsey. radio electrician
and radio repair man of the company
While still in West High school in the
beautiful little city of Akron. Ohio,
Lindsey was making quite a reputa-
ton for himself in the athletic field.
BY the time he received his piece Of
paper he had tentative offers to join
the teams of two major colleges. but
chose Ohio State instead. There he
was accepted for the track team in
his freshman year
With a burning desire to travel and
lucky State to start his second year
in college. Being accepted for the
football team Lindsey's dream came
true for he travelled 5000 miles in one
football season with the team his first
year at Kentucky. The urge to get
around was still embedded in Hughie
for he jumped to Tennessee State the
next year and was doing all right for
himself until he received his call to
the service.
From the Reception Center, Hughie
was sent to the S27th Tank Destroyer
Bn. Because of his high mechanical
aptitude, he was assigned to the radio
section, and this work has proven to
he his second love. Keeping over 90
radios on the ball constantly, Hughie
Lindsey works diligently. He is one
of those fellows who continuously
strives to better himself. Recently he
filed an application for OCS and we
all hope he achieves his ultimate goal
Tops
Joe Adams is definitely in there at
the second sack :. nothing gets past
him and his playing in the game
against SCU was fIawless. Also to be
commended is Motley Price, ace pitch
er, of the company softball team. A

. FACTS FROM
The 827 Medicos

I'm forced to admit that Company
stB, of the S27 It'd. Bn.. can really
take it. The battalion went on a
hike and not one soldier of said COM
pany complained of any ailment.
Yours truly should know, because I
happened to be one of the First Aid
men assigned to Company B on two
consecutive hikes. But 1 was bitterly
when a certain sergeant
from the company was absent both
times. l do believe that 1 would ac-
tually enjoy taking a hike with him
to see if he can take it, What about
1T, K.C.?
Yours truly is very happy to report
that T/5 William e. Washington is
Improving rapidly. He should be out
soon, at least we hope So.
I Pfc. Calvin Leatherwood should be
back with the Detachment pretty
soon. He looks great and ready to
perform any duty that he's called to
do.
Pvt. Lynwood jackson happens to
be the only soldier in the Medics par
ticipating in the sport known as base
ball. His favorite position, at pres
ent. is occupied. Who knows what
the future will bring? Perhaps, with
little more practice. he'll get what
he wants
Pvt. Willie Barnes, for some un-
known reason, is trying to produce a
baseball team out of some of the
Medics. The cause is mystery
Could it be popularity he's after?
Last, but not least, our great sup
ply sergeant, TIA Robert F. Wright,
has certainly been on the ball for the
past week. Without the aid of his
able assistants. TI5 j. w. Yancey and
T/5 w. E. Washington, he has toll
Grated several inspections. AS fast as
he gets his supplies straight from one
inspection another one pops up. But
it's good to see someone put him on
the ball

good soldiers. they set mines and
BOBBY traps as if they were eating an
ice cream cone or drinking an ice

testing part of the whole course was
clearing mine field at night, this
called for sensitive feeling, quick
thinking, good nerve and loads and
loads of luck. However, not one man
