Even with this rapid increase of applications, Colonel Oscar B. Ab bot, Senior Instructor, $aid that the Army is still in need of officers to initiate the expansion program, of the various posts, camps, and sta tions' throughout the United States. He stated that especially anti-aircraft officers'" are needed at Fort Bliss, Texas. Colonel Abbott also announced that all regular army non-com- rrjissioned officers who hold a re serve commission have been advis-. ed that the Army desires that they state whether or not thyy d^jose to return to their former officer sta- tqs and go on extended duty as spell or remain in tHeir present non-commissioned officer status. Without doubt, many of the pre sent regular army non-commis sioned officers that are stationed in Texas will take advantage of this new regulation, Golonel Ab bott said. ■ . •t • Bring the Family to our Re- freshinent Center for cool, tasty drinks and delicious ice cream {favorites— 1 !
