Ellis: You mentioned a four digit number that identified each unit. Did that number refer to the type of training you received as part of ASTP? Do I have this right....once someone went through the usual basic training after being drafted or enlisted and the regular testing, if his scores were high enough, he was then sent to a STAR unit for further testing and if he qualified was then sent to a college that participated in ASTP? Pete told me that he had three months of basic training, then was sent to college, and then assigned to an infantry division for another six months of training. Does that sound about right? I apologize for so many questions. Thank you for your patience. Adrienne
