Wagner, Donald (Service Notes- 1978)

Recruits from the Wisconsin Army National Guard met at Camp Williams in Camp Douglas over the weekend for a basic training orientation, the only co-educational program of its kind in the state. In that group was Donald Wagner of Neillsville, who joined thirteen others from across the state.

The orientation is designed to prepare recruits to accept their training both physically and mentally. The program of instruction includes demonstrations on military customs and courtesy, correct wearing of the uniform, map reading, familiarization with the M-16 rifle, introduction to a protective mask, marching, bedmaking and boot polishing. Most phases of the orientation were designed for co-educational instruction with only special question and answer sessions held separately.

This, the fifth co-educational basic training orientation weekend, follows on highly successful separately conducted male and female orientation sessions.
