NO. 46 RO 24 on Training Trip To CJATC, Rivers, Man. Westward -Ho was the order of the day last Thursday when members of the senior Radio Of- ficer Course Number 24 boarded their aircraft bound for the Can- adian Joint Air Training Centre, Rivers, Manitoba. ' Bright and early, or to be more was e.m, accurate, it 5 and quite dark, the 18 Flight Cadets to- gether with 3 AROS instructors, F/O T. J. Bangs, F/O F. Pearce and F/O' B. Howard,"hopped" aboard the old faithful bus at the gates of the Station and set out. on the first leg of their journey to the awaiting aircraft at Cen- tralia. This was one flight that the cadets were really looking for- ward to despite the earliness of the hour, This was, their "long range training exercise" when they would be 'on their own on the RCAF coast to coast transit frequency for the first time. Af- ter months of intensive air and' ground training during which time they carried out numerous exercises and tests on the com- paratively private and specially provided training• frequencies, the embryro ROs were to try their hand at the real thing. After the usual prepara'tidn•s and briefing at AROS Detach- ment hangar at Centralia, the party was divided amongst three Dakotas and were winging their way westward just as the sun was peaking over the horizon and flying control personnel were just about thinking of turning off the runway lights. Fairly strong headwinds were forecast along the route, which is usually the case flying west, and it looked like it was going to be an eight or nine hour flight. The question ofcourse was would we land at Lakehead or reach Winnipeg before refuelling . be- came necessary. As it turned out, the trip was made without a landing with a fair supply of fuel remaining. The prevailing winds had decreased and shifted and a fairly decent ground speed was maintained. The destination for the trip was chosen with a very good rea- son. Not only was this to be a training trip and introduction to RCAF Transit Circuits, but the Flight Cadets also had a date to keep with the Army and the Paratroop School which is located at Itivers. Arrangements had been made to show the Cadets how the Army train a paratroop- er and to pick up valuable in- formation which might serve the Radio Officer at some future time when he may have `occasion to use the parachute as a life saving device in an emergency, rather than to use it as a routine meth- od of getting the aircraft to some predetermined area as their bro- thers of the Paratroopers do. After landing at Rivers end re- grouping, the training party set out for the Paratroop Hangar under the guidance of Major Milne, who is the Acting Chief Instructor of the Paratroopers. Major Milne welcomed the party to Rivers and then turned the Cadets over to Msjor Bohnes who geve us a very informative and interesting lecture on how the Paratroopers are., trained-: how they start them from scratch and develop them gradually along until they are toughened and ef- ficient jumpers and soldiers. He ran ever the porn ; and tricks of the trade as they might affect a member of the aircrew team. Every, one seern ri to wonder who the packers were out there when Major Holmes started to pull chutes right and left in ensuring that the operation method and function of each type of pack was understood. Then the thought came over us of the hundreds that are pulled quite regularly during the course of training, especially when the troopers take to the air, and comfort was felt when it was realized that these were a mere trifle. However, a few could still shudder a bit when they re- membered the days of the "rum- ble" which was a penalty, us- ually in the form of a line, if 'a chute were "accidently" pulled. From the lecture room we were escorted to the main part of the training building where all types of devices are located to simulate. the actual use of parachutes. They had neck -ups of aircraft fusel- ages, slides for the practice of falling correctly, jumping stands, where the paratroop student gradually progresses higher on the stand in:his mastery of jeniping and falling and avoid inp ury. Then on to the harness rack, where men are taught t.n control their chutes in the air; how to stop osoillatiug, and how to steer the chute , by the correct - use of. shroud lines so as to avoid open water, power lines and trees. During the tour of the build- ing, everyone, it seemed, was amazed at the personnel who were hurrying and scurrying on the double about the premises, It turned out, however, that al- though the troopers are required to be in top physical shape, it certainly was not normal far them to be doubling in carrying out their duties. The personnel in question were what is commonly known as defaulters and the hustling was part of their punish- ment. Time did not permit a complete demonstration and tour of .the training facilities, which included the jumping tower, and although the Cadets were disappointed in not getting a crack at the tower, which is the closest approach to the real thing, we called it a day and resigned ourselves to an early take -off for home next morning, so our arrival would be in time to fulfill previous coin- mittments for Friday. Twenty=four hours after the runway lights had gradually fad- ed from view at Centralia, a similar sight presented itself in the grey dawn of the prairies. This time there was no mention of landing to re -fuel enroute. The winds were with us this time. It was not long- before the sprawling city of Winnipeg loom- ed ahead, then Kenora, Lakehead was next and the long haul over Lake Superior. When Wiarton was sighted, it was realized that the trip was just about complet- ed, and before many minutes had passed, the aircraft was circling Centralia for a landing. The dual-purpose trip had conte to an end. The Flight Cadets had taken an important step along the road in their air training and had gained valuable and first hand knowledge para- chute usage as well. Everything had gone off like clock -work. It had to for the time was short. The bus was waiting to carry us back to Clin- ton and before very long, we were bumping and lurching our way along No, 4. Possibly on the way back the passengers were thipking of the wonders of . air transportation which could whisk them se far one day and back again the next. Or maybe they were thinking of that jump tower back at Rivers: Still others may have been think- ing about how• they staked up as a Radio Officer under actual conditions. There is one thought everyone had in common, however, and that was the hospitality of Sta- tion Rivers in general, and the impression made by the Army Paratroopers in the kindly and pleasant manner in which they showed us so much in such a short time. o Stork Shower A stork shower in honour of Mrs. Cole was held at the home of Mrs. Dawson King, 14 Quebec Rd., last Thursday evening.
