GENERAL'S 
 
MESSAGE 
 
GOVERNOR LESTER G. MADDOX 
My Fellow Guardsmen: 
 
MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE J, HEA RN 
 
To emphasize the importance of good community and family relat ions, the Notional Guard Bureau has produced two pamphlets for Guard units to forward to employers and wives of Guardsmen. 
While we hove a military responsibil ity to perform our duty in the Notional Guard, we should not forget the sacrifice an employer makes when he relinquishes the services of his employees for participation in summer training periods, State active duty missions or even a federal mobi Iizati on . 
As the pamphlet points out, employers of Guardsmen are patriots, too, and we want to recognize their valuable contribution to our State's Guardsmen. 
Similarly, another pamphlet thanks the wives of Guardsmen for their personal sacrifices: being alone on drill weekends, during annual summer training and also during special calls to emergency duty. We all know how vital is the understanding of a Guardsman's wife when duty calls. 
Without the consideration of our loved ones at home, our job as Guardsmen becomes more difficult. By recognition of this important personal factor in our service to our State and Nation, we pay tribute to the ones who keep the homefront intact while we are away. 
We are particularly proud of the Air Guard's recent contribution to the relief of victims of Hurricane Camille in Mississippi , when crew members volunteered to be absent from their jobs and homes to fly food to devastated areas of Biloxi and Gulfport. 
Therefore, it is most appropriate that our employers and wives know how much we appreciate their understanding as we strive to serve our State and Nation as citizen-soldiers and airmen of the National Guard.

Engineers and Artillerymen Join EOH For 15 Days Training at Ft. Stewar t 
 
After two weeks of grue lling field tr aining a t Ft. Stewart 15 - 29 June, Georgia National Guardsmen of the Ga. EOH , 265th Engineer Group a nd ll8th Artille ry Group returned home "i nvigorated" by their experien ces. 
Drawn from 51 unit s in 33 Geo rgia communities, the Guardsmen spent th e two weeks practicing their military job specialties, as eng1n ee rs, truckers , a rtill e ryme n, policeme n, communica tions techn1 c 1ans, eve n mustcian s. 
During the 14 days th ey s pe nt on Ft. Ste wa rt's 250,000 acres of pine for es t a nd mars h , th e Guard troops endured soaking rain s tha t turned th e ir bivouac areas into bog s and heat e xc ee din g 100 :deg rees. 
The Guardsmen divided thei r _tim e between training exe rci ses condu ct ed almost entirely outside the classroom and in the fi e ld and on-th e-job tra ining. 
On-the-job training ("OJ T," 
2 
 
w the soldier's lexicon of convenient abbreviations) depended upon th e Guardsman's military occ upational spec ia lty. 
For a n engineer, OJT meant replacing a roo f on one of th e post's agi ng buildings or grading a road that leads back into a wild e rn ess o f p a lm ett o a nd Sp anis h moss. 
For a truck driver, OJT was distributing up to 25 t on s of food and 1ce a day to th e Nationa l Guard mess ha ll s . For a military policeman , it was che cking identification and c urbing speeders; for a medi c it was sal vi ng i nsect bites and tapi ng sore joints. 
Th e summer camp r epresented the culmination of a train ing year th a t cons is t s of 12 wee kend meetings and classes on techniqu es _ techniques th e Guards men cannot put into practice until th e two weeks of annua l active duty. 
The Georgia units al so enterta in ed a processio n of bo th mili- 
 
tary and c ivilian d ign itaries, including Governor L es ter G. Maddox who reviewed th e Gu ardsmen during traditional Governor's Day Ceremonies Saturday Jun e 19th. (See story on awards and d ecorations in thi s edi tion. ) 
T he Guardsmen, under the ove ra ll comm an d of Major Genera l Geo rge J . Hearn, Adjutant General of Georgia and Commanding Officer, Headquarters Detachment, Ga ARNG , ended their ca mp on June 29-

St. Simons Airmen Become Movie Stars For Documentary On Ft. Frederica 
 
Airmen of the 224th Mobile Communications Squadron, St Simons Island , Georgia volunteered to -become British and Scottish soldiers for the filming of a documentary motion picture about life at Fort Frederica on St Simons Island during the 1740's under General Oglethrope. They were outfitted in authentic uniforms of the period and prac ticed at night to learn the military drill s used by the British during th e 1740's. No uniforms of the period existed, so each uniform was ma de to fit the individual soldier. 
The film , "Thi s Is Frederica", was filmed by th e Audio Visual 
Department of th e National P a rk Service and will be shown to visitor s at Fort Frederica, school groups and on educational TV. The sound track will be used in various room s in the town of Frederica to be played back by visitors. 
The role of narrator, as well as a participant in the action was screen star John Ireland who provided continuitity to vignettes featuring th e military and town residents . 
Th e British soldiers performed intricate maneuvers in their uniforms consi sting of red woolen coats, weskits and kn ee-breeches, above the knee spatterdashes, wigs and three-cornered hats and carrying muskets. Th e Scotchmen in th eir wigs, red woolen jackets, kilts and plaid woolen knee soc ks provided a colorful showing for spectators and cameramen. In addition to performing in formation some membe rs participated as extras in other scenes taken during the two-week filming. 
Park Service Officials praised the performance and coop eration recei ved from th e Ai r National Guard during making of the Film. A good tim e was enjoyed by all voluntee rs.

What Is An American? 
He is th e fellow who yells for the government to balance the budget, then takes the last dime he has to make th e down payment on a car. 
He whips th e enemy, then gives him the shirt off his back. H e yells for speed laws that will stop fast driving, th en won't buy a car if it can't make 100 miles per hour. 
H e knows the line-up of every baseball team in the American and National Leagues - and doesn't know half the words of the "Star Spangled Banner." 
He'll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make him live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour on slick pavement to make up fo r the lost time. 
He ties up his dog, but lets his 16-year-old son do whatever he wants. 
H e will \VOrk hard on a farm so he can move into town where he can make more money so he can move back to the farm. H e couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag, but spends 20 bucks for rin gside seats, and tells the professionals how to fi ght. We're the country that has more food to eat than any other country in th e world and more diets to keep us from eating. \iVe're the most ambitious people on earth , and we run from mornin g until night trying to keep our earnin g power up with our yearning power. 
We're supposed to be the most civilized Nation on earth, but still can't deliver payrolls without an armored car. 
But we're still pretty nice folks. Calling a person "A Real American" is the bes t complim ent you can pay him. Most of th e world is itching for wha t we have, but they'll never have it until they start scratching for it as an individual. (By LCDR. N. D . Anders on) E ditor's Note: \iVe're also th e people whose eyes moisten when th e 
Flag goes by in a parade-but find a man around who will admit it.

ACCIDENTS VS. DISEASES Accidents are the leading 
cause of death among all persons aged 1 to 37, according to 
the National Safety Council. For persons of all ages, accidents are the fourth leading cause of death. Accidents claim more lives of children, aged 1 to 14 years, than the six leading diseases combined. Among Youths, aged 15 to 24 years, accidents take more lives than all other causes combined.

APR- JUN 1969 
 
 GMT at Dobbins Hones 116th Airmen 
 
About 350 Georgia Air National 
 
Guardsmen have completed a 
 
unique summer school. The campus 
 
was Dobbins Air Force Base in 
 
Marietta. The instructors were 
 
highly qualified ANG officers. The 
 
subjects were not intellectual 
 
abstractions 
 
. but the hard, 
 
cold realities of survival in the 
 
Atomic Age. 
 
The Georgia Air Guardsmen 
 
were attending General Military 
 
Tramtng sessions during annual 
 
field training held from July 27 
 
to August 16. Sessions were de- 
 
signed to give each Guardsman a 
 
working knowledge of subjects 
 
ranging from disaster preparedness 
 
to the dangers of illegal drug use. 
 
Actually, General Military Train- 
 
ing is nothing new. The Guard 
 
covers each GMT subject once a 
 
quarter during monthly UTAs. But 
 
this year's "en masse" summer 
 
session of l16th Military Airlift 
 
Wing and 116th MA Group personnel 
 
afforded an excellent opportunity 
 
for intensive presentation of GMT 
 
subjects. 
 
For men of the 116th MAGp, field training began July 27. On 29 July, men of the Security Police Force, under the command of Captain Donald C. Knutson, qualified with the -38 caliber service revolver at the base firing range. 
Friday, 1 Aug. was a busy day for 1l6th MAGp personnel as classroom instruction began. Group Ground Safety Officer 2nd Lt. Richard B. Russell IV opened the session with well-prepared Instruction on accident prevention. Lt. Russell utilized the latest in training films to drive home safety points. 
Major John P. Syribes's first aid presentation evoked a lively question and answer session. Many common misconceptions about first aid were swept away by Doctor Syribes' s matter-of-fact presentation. 
On 4 Aug., the 116th MAGp,

armory. 
 
202nd is "Outstanding GEEIA Sq" 
 
Georgia's 202d GEEIA Squadron of Macon has been selected as the Outstanding Air National Guard GEEIA Squadron for 1968, the second year in a row it has won the honor. 
Col Lewis L. Bradley, Eastern GEEIA Region commander, presented the squadron with its award m ceremonies conducted at Macon on April 19. The ceremonies were 
now entering the second week of field training, was joined by personnel of the 116th Military Airlift Wing, for whom field training had begun the previous Saturday. Wing and Group personnel attended joint GMT sessions. 
Major Wm. R. Moor, assisted by Sgt. Lowell Hollums, began joint Wing-Group instruction with a sessron on disaster preparedness. Highly effective films dealing with preparedness in cases of natural disasters, gas and biological warfare, and nuclear attack were utilized. 
One of the most moving sessions was conducted by Major Robert J. Cole, Wing Training Officer, and responsible for GMT for the 116th MAW. 
 
attended by BG Paul S. Stone, Asst AG for Air, along with members of the State Staff. 
The squadron earned a total of 926 points out of a possible 1,000 available in the award criteria. The award, now in its fourth year, is based on the following criteria: personnel manning, unit training assembly attendance, personnel skill manning, OJT and skill knowledge testing, and annual federal inspection. 
Lt Col George E. Smith, unit commander, congratulated the squadron during the ceremonies. "Needless to say" he said,. "I am very proud of this achievement, and I want to thank every airman and every officer of this organization for making this possible. It's your a ward and your achievement.'' 
GEEIA commander Brig Gen. Franklin A. Nichols, in a letter added his congratulations. "Please express my appreciation for a job well done. The advisory personnel also deserve a word of praise for their assistance in guiding the unit toward its goal.'' Senior Master Sergeant Aaron L. Gray, and TSGT William R. Redmond serve as Air Force advisors to the 202nd.

TESTS REVEAL 
FOLLY OF SPEE D 
Two interesting experiments with speed took place not long ago in West Germany. A couple of automotive accessory manufac turers took two identical cars, fitt ed them with instruments that measured every detail of the trip, and sent them out on a 1,000 mil e journey. One driver was told to avoid risk and move as the traf fi c flow permitted. 
The speed demon finish ed 31 minutes ah ead of the slow dri ver after nearly 1,000 mil es. He drove for 20 hours and 12 minutes, brake d 1, 339 times, passed 2,000 cars and was passed by only 13. T he slow dri ver brak ed 652 times, passed 645 times, and was pa s s ed 142 times in 20 hours 43 minut es. 
Unconvince d, West German y's biggest motor club tried it on th eir own, ove r an 800 mile run. T he fast car took 16 hours, 52 minute s: th e slow one took 21 minutes longer. The fast driver used 10 more gallons of gas than did the slow driver. The moral was obvious.
