The classroom theory is put Into practice In the field with a series of R.S.O.P which enable us to acquaint ourselves with the problems we will meet on the field and how best to solve them. Our future as good field officers Is now in our own hands and our success or failure de- pends on us alone. The Staff Officers have painstakingly and unstlntingly devoted their time and knowledge In preparing us for our place In this global conflict.
