It is a rare occasion when
both major awards presented
during graduation exercises for
the Armor Officer Candidate

That rare occasion happened
when Officers Candidate Class

Knox Ky. The outstanding can

tinguished honor graduate of
the class by virtue of finishing
first academically but he was
also the winner of the grueling
military stakes course.
Reilly compiled a 96.24 aver
age to nail down the top spot

based on both academic scores
and leadership ratings.

OFFICER PROMOTION SCHEDULE
(TENTATIVE)
Washington (ANF)—The Department of the Army has announced the tentative officer
promotion schedule for Jan. 20 through Feb. 91967.
Holiday Paradise
By PFC DICK WOOD
Getting back to Ft. Hood from
holiday leave can be easy. It
can also be plush. Even for a
Pfc.
As a matter of stretching a
point it might even be said
that a general loaned me his
plane for the trip from Wash
ington to Fort Worth.
I left Vermont for the trip
back riding by automobile from
Westover to Andrews Air Force
Base but I arrived at Andrews
just in time to see the last hop
scheduled for Texas take off.
I settled down for along night's
wait.
Then it happened. Just by
chance I was offered a ride to
Texas in what was described
as a small plane.

coffee just as he would the gen-
ral except he didn't say "Sir."
A staff car met us at the
plane and took us to a VIP
lounge. There a pretty recep
tionist asked me if I wanted
transportation. I said I had to
get into town.
I expected her to call a taxi.
Instead a limousine picked me
up.
I felt kind of ashamed riding
to the bus station in a limou
sine but if it bothered the
chauffeur she didn't say. I do
mean "She" because it was
clear that was no "he" behind
the wheel.
I wondered why the fancy car
until I noticed the driver was
wearing a uniform labeled
"General Dynamics."
Of course it took me longer
to get to Ft. Hood by bus than
it did to get from Washington
to Fort Worth by plane. But
that plane trip was almost
enough to get me to put in
for OCS and start bucking for
a star.
