Company B lllilitary Staff Scrgcants To Master Sergeant Rakow- ski, the administrative officer of the military staff and tacti- cal officer of D company, no words of thanks could express our appreciation for a job truly well done. Sergeant First Class Robert Oldknow and S.F.C. Spinney, tactical officers of B and A companies respectively, have taught us the practical applica- tion of our theoretical training that we also received under their guidance in the classroom. This year S.F.C. Walter J. Gunn, is leaving B.M.I. and we feel sorry that the classes that follow will not benefit from his help and teaching as we have during his three year stay at B.M.I. Goodbye and good luck in whatever you do, you, the men who have aided us through the years of our schooling at B.M.I.
