NEWS FROM OUR BOYS IN THE SERVICE ,Q-Sal? . i sg, , ' Q E -ff X YI . , kk ' f These are exciting times for all people, but most particularly for the Youth of our great country. It has been an honor and privilege for Brandeis High to have learned of the many fine records made by its former students at home and abroad. Some have visited the school in person, and mighty grand they looked! Others have written of their experiences in far- away places. For auld lang syne we are relating some of these interesting accounts. 4 4 4 Sgt. Henry Hajenian CU. S. M. CJ writes: It's been all of a full month since I returned from Atlantic Field CBeaufort, North Carolinal after serving there as Sergeant of the Guard for Group 62. I don't mind telling you that the job I had down there made an important change in me, and it was a change for the good. In the two and a half months that I was there I learned one of the most important lessons of my life, and that was how to handle a body of men cor- rectly. It was tough at the start, but after a while it came to me naturally, so much so that I enjoyed it and tried all the harder to make good at it, despite the fact that it kept me from fly- ing. Believe me, it's tough for a person like me to put any effort into any job except flying, because I'd rather fly than eat. Well, as you know, I had twenty-four men under me in the brig detachment, but now that I am Sergeant of the Guard for the entire group, I have one hundred and twenty-seven men to take care of. These past months have made me realize just exactly what you teachers back in school had to put up with. It seems that I had to find out the hard way, that you can't expect a bunch of men to respect you and obey your orders if you show favoritism, and allow a few to go unpunished when they've done something wrong. I've gone by the code you set for me, and so far everything has been perfect. It all boils down to one thing: A man can't do his job the way it should be done, and expect everyone to like him, especially in a guard company. But I've also found out that although there is a dislike towards me shown by some people, those same people respect me for the same reason they dislike me. The only thing that's against me in a job such as the one I now have is my age. So I've kept it a secret from everyone who's ever worked for me. The ages of the men in my guard range anywhere from eighteen to thirty-seven years. All I can do is take it for granted that I'm doing all right, because the Major is recom- mending me for a promotion to Staff Sergeant. It might be two or three months before it goes through, but it is something to work for. fThe letter quoted above was sent to Mr. George F. Hill, Machine Shopj 4 4 4 Fri-gm grivate Carlo Patturelli, Class of '45. CSoon after his enlistment in December.J i, ang! Well, lam in Blanding, Florida, in the Infantry, and it isn't so bad. Well, one week's training so far, and it was easy, but as you keep going along it gets tougher and tougher. What I am training for is heavy weapons, which means 45-automatic, 30-caliber machine guns and mortarsp throwing a few hand grenades: and rifle practice also. Well, all this is going to take seventeen weeks. I expect to be home on a ten-day pass. Well, that's all fellers. Don't forget to write to me soon. Your pal, CARLO B.V. I-I. S.
