RECEPTION STA TI ON This is the gateway to the Army. How do they get everything accomplished here? This may be one of the thoughts that occurs on the soldier's mind as they process through the Fort Leonard Wood Reception Station. It becomes quite clear to them they do get a great deal accomplished during the brief live days stay. Aptitude test, physical examination, a classiHcation interview, orientation meeting, a clothing issue and the creation of a permanent Hle-all are completed within the few days of processing at the Reception Station. The change from civilian to soldier has to be a swift one, for they will receive intensive training in the fundamentals of combat soldiering that may have to be applied in the defense of our country and their own lives. The beginning of a new career, new challenges, and lifelong friendships becomes a reality as each day passes. Even as the soldiers move to their training companies, they have begun to understand a little more of the routine that will become such an important part of their Basic Training. Y 'illlw 16 ffl
