Record Shows ASTP Graduates Assigned to Many Varied Jobs (Editor's Note The Army Spe-- f oialized Training Program has now been in operation for about of a year, and some who entered advance couraes have now graduated. Because many Hill Field soldiers are thinking of applying, have applied or are now in ASTP units, the Hillfielder presents the following resume of ASTP activities. Particular attention is paid to what has happened to ASTP graduates, with the thought in mind that this information can be a guide to future individual planning.) Approximately 1500 enlisted men iinv been graduated from the Army Specialized Training Program and have been assigned to a wide in variety of responsible duties of the nearly all arms and serviceshas anarmy, the War Department nounced. The 1500 already graduated and assigned constitute more than half the number who entered the inaugural term of ASTP April 12, 1943. adThey are men who entered atbackof because and vanced levels, ground and aptitudes were ablein. to a absorb the required training time. short relatively At the end of October, it was resolported, approximately 140,000 diers were enrolled In the ASTP at 222 educational institutions. ts Early in 1944 these will complete their courses in two-thir- ds soldier-studen- 1n (li duties in such a manner that the Surgeon General's office is increasits requests ing nearly four-fol- d for ASTP graduates in that corps, Assignments to the Corps of En gineers have included civil engin eers, chemists, chemical engineer, mechanical engineers, and architects. Several hundred graduates in medicine have been appointed to Medical Department work. A number of graduates havs been selected for officer candidate schools, among them the Transportation Corps OCS, and the Corps of Engineers OCS. It was stressed that the ASTP should not be regarded as a sure road to a commission, as ASTP graduates must compete with all other enlisted men for selection to fill the few vacancies.' in the OCS. Although the trainee's chance for advancement is improved by successful completion of his course, with officer training a possibility, the primary aim of the program is to train soldiers for the highest duties they are capable of performing in the specialized fields where the army has greatest needs.
