' • • /: • They have weathered summers ; .that have made local'residents gasp -from Coast to coast. They have seen the mercury go., sky high from the Rio iltande to the Canadian bord er.; But none of them has.ever been as hot a* they are down here at Gamp Hpod,' . Even those seasoned veterans of a summer SchooLaessiorl at AifcM can look back on die >co(mparative comfort of thot**a«©HTrB ‘location (. and smile. Those days with the,ir warm and pleasant breezes were nothing compared to the ^Cesent time at Camp Hood. But the heat alone is not 1 Ctvough. For over all of Camp Hood there is a special ingredi ent which is exclusive within the borders of this sprawling camp. The substance is dusti. * It isn’t an ordinary dust. It is white, powdery, blinding dust that creeps irjto every corner, every piece !of equipment and every lock et. m Let a six by six truck stajrt obt i the morning and, despite the ew, it will be followed by a ris ing cloud of white, rolling dust. But seeing a truck raise such a cloud and riding in one that is raising such a cloud ar^ two fferent things. ce today for instance, ies F and G, the two cav nies taking ROTC sum 1 ! p training, were scheduled to •ractice firing from tanks using wlibre machine guns and the 76 ter gun. e it was Monday the opti- among us donned clean fa- when the reveille whistle souhded at '4'J50 a. m. By 5:30 we were loaded on trucks and had set out across , ^eamp to head for the firing ranges! which ring the camp. Rumbling through camp we had yet awakened sufficiently to embeii the dust.

We i had been riding calmly up until then. But all of a sudden the world was blotted out. A white fog enveloped the vehicles which werie transporting us. But-soon we realized it wasn’t fog. It Was dyst, enemy of all from generate bn down. , - • j teadlly it rose behind ' us. Since there was kittle windL it lifted itself high into the air and remained as a sort of sn|k)ke screen that obscured the road. A few of the sleepy ones who had been caught unawares coughed and gagged* The more al'ert mem-! hers of the* two companies just •itted their teeth,, closed their ter and dustier and dastier.1 Noon time came with the wel come relief of mess call. Every one knocked off for an hour! and spent the time forgetting the heat ind! partaking of chow. Incidenta ly, chow time here at Camp Hood id about the highest spot of any dayj It is good and there is plenty of It even in the field where serving conditions are far from ideal. The cooks serving the two -p cavalry com panies (and especial ly F Company- with which I am more familiar) must have been the best Obtainable for, surpris ing eqoiigh, very 'few people gripe about the meals. That, we understand, is unusual. When chow time was over and our mess kits had been scalded, practice firing continued. Each ca det was given an ■ opportunity, or will be tomorrow if he missed to day, to serve as a gunner, a load er, and a tank commander. The machine gun firing is at moving targets at ranges around 600 yards. The 76 mm. firing is with high tocplosiV# shells at rang es from 1 30o to 1,800 yards. • When evening finally arrived and the tanks ‘shoved off for|their were coveted from head to foot with a white mask.
