SERVICEMEN OP TODAY COMMAND RESPECT
Let's face its There was a time not
too long ago when service "regulars."
didn't rate too we 11 with some segments'
of the public. There was a canard tb
the effedt that most of them were shifti
less types, unfit by.lack of education
and loose habits for polite society
brawlers, tosspots, loveable enough in
war but outside the social pale in
time of peace.
You rarely if ever find that atti
tude expressed today—and there's a
reason. Some "regulars" may begin
their service careers with educational
limitations, but they don't stay that
way. The Armed Forces and cooperating
civilian educators have made it poss
ible for them to advance themselves
scholastically to a point where their
student backgrounds compare favorably
with those of above average civilians.
The result has been an uninterupted
upgrading of the caliber of men. making
the service a career. Civilian edu
cators—teachers, professors, college,
prexies—coming in contact with these'
men, frequently are moved to express
their gratified surprise.
Well, on our side of the fence, it
feels fine to so surprise them. After
the initial surprise comes closer rap
port between career service people and
the public. Eventually both parties
find that there isn't any fence at
all. (AFPS)
