Sliif Training Al Peiawawa For P. E. I. Regiment

PETAWAWA, Aug. l5—Mcmbers of the Prince, Edward Island Reg- lmcnt- (17th Reece Regt.) from Charlottetown, P.E.l.. who arrived here Sunday are finding it out the hard way and liking it.

The old idea of Reserve Force regiments training as individual units under their own officers while at summer camp has been junked in favor of a ncwcr, more modern method. Here, officers and men alike, regardless of what unit they belong to. are singled out for specialized training under crack Active Force instructors. Determ- ining factors es to what: typo of training each soldier will get are the amount of experience he has had, the corps he belongs to, and his own particular lob in his regi- merit.

Recruits. for instance. are sent to the general military training wing of the camp where they are taught the fundamentals of sold- ierlng. More experienced‘ soldiers are sent to artillery, infantry sup- port, armoured or engineering wings. depending on their corps. and even here they are broken up into smaller groups for advanced training in their own jobs. wheth- er it's that of e driver. radio op- erator. gunner, mechanic or just plain out-and-eutsolclier and fight- inil man.

The new Army influence is ev- erywhere. All ranks sleep between crisp, white sheets and the same food is served in all messes. Younger soldiers are taught to do things the new army way. not bullied into it as once was the case. But what really gets them lathe wealth of equipment and ammunition at their disposal. and the lavish use of it in the Thurs- day night fire power demonstrat- ion labelled by Major-General Chris Vokes as "the greatest shew on earth,"
