The physical test was OK. Wyman went upstairs and was assigned to the Navy.
Now the only thing left to do was the thing Wyman had started out to do: he must be sworn in at Kansas City. In order to get transportation, he would have to wait another day. Thursday dawned, and found a tired V-12 hopefully on his way to the great city. He went to headquarters. He waited. Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon he waited. The kid had arrived.
And then at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, in came some officers. "Now," they said, "everybody who hasn't been sworn in will now take the oath." And they rushed through the building grabbing likely prospects. They read the list of names. The sworn-to-be-inners stood and stretched. Glazed-faced Wyman sat
Gazed-faced Wyman sat.
The officers looked down, saw the seated and lonely boy, and remarked, "What the (we pause) are you doing here?" Convinced finally that here was a good candidate, the limp warm hand of congratulation was given. Granite-face (by this time) Wyman found it impossible to display much emotion, but his goal at last was fulfilled.
And so our story reaches its conclusion. Don Wyman is now on the INACTIVE DUTY LIST for V-12 until July 1.
