ASTP (The Army Specialized Training Program) was for the relatively high IQ's of the U.S. Army, all of whom were college age (18 to 24). All or almost all of the ASTP students were sent into the infantry when the war got rough in 1944. They sent the highest IQ's into the Infantry where combat would kill or wound at least 99 percent of them (yes, 99 percent!). ------------------------------------ http://www.eece.maine.edu/info/history/ww2.php ----- Original Message ----- From: <INZP@aol.com> To: <WORLDWAR2-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [WORLD WAR II] U.S. Army - Training for Engineers -Carnegie Institute of ... | Hi Ellis: | | I'm going to contact Carnegie Mellon just on the off chance that they have an | archives librarian and one who, since it's been such a long time, will not be | a stickler on rules since I'm not a member of his immediate family.

ASTP- Army Special Training Program. I know-I was in it at the University of Pennsylvania. One of the language courses given there was to teach selected soldiers to speak Greek with a Bulgarian accent (instead of American).

Can anyone direct me to a source to obtain a photo of the USS Thomas Jefferson WWII liberty ship.Tom

Here is a website for the USS Thomas Jefferson. I am also giving you the Website for the Liberty Ships. Thoas Jefferson is not listed amoung them.

Hi: That's not him. And I do agree that "ASTP (Army Specialized Training Program), This is probably what it meant at the time frame for WW2." Thank you for spending so much time on this.

Andrienne, if he transferred credits from CIT, now Carnegie Mellon University, I think it is safe to assume that he was in their ASTP Unit. Carnegie Mellon may be able to tell you if he attended in that time frame. His Army Record would be the real source of information. I did not know him.

Adrienne, ASTP = Army Specialized Training Program. It was a program, available to qualified applicants, for study in the fields of Medicine, Engineering and Psychology at the University level. Colleges and Universities were selected by the Army. Each unit was identified by a four digit number. Those accepted were sent first to a Star Unit for further testing and classification and then sent to the appropriate school. I was sent to University of San Francisco in the Engineering Program. The Program started in mid 1943 and ended in late spring of 1944 when replacements were need for the fighting units. Credits earned were transferable.

Would anyone be able to tell me about the Carnegie Institute of Technology ASTP? After my friend was drafted into service for World War II, (he was in college studying to become an engineer) he was given a variety of tests to determine his placement and type of training. He mentioned that he had was sent to "college" for training in order to learn how to defuse land mines, set charges, build bridges, etc. He was a member of Company C 320th Engineer Battalion (Combat), a unit of the 95th Infantry Division. After the war, according to his college record, there were credits that were transferred from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, ASTP. Would anyone know what ASTP means and if this is where the army sent engineering students? He also completed a BS - Division of Special Services for War Veterans? Would anyone be able to explain what that meant? I'm fairly certain that all of the above has to do with his training during the war. Would there be a department within the Army that I could contact for further information? Thank you, Adrienne Inman
