Army Apparel Fits
Fort Bliss, Tex. (UP)—Army recruits need not fear they will be forced to wear misfitting apparel as part of their uniforms.
A tour through the draftere induction center at Fort Bliss, typical of the nation's military reception posts, shows that the government has missed no details in clothing soldiers with an eye toward comfort and efficiency.
The ill-fitting footwear that provoked World War jokes is unheard of, and that goes for the rest of the soldier's outfit, too. From hat to shoes he is carefully measured and issued correct sizes. Measured for Size
Upon entering the huge warehouse at Fort Bliss, where $6,000,-000 worth of equipment is stored, a soldier is speedily measured and accurately sized-up for everything he wears. His word for size is not taken.
The sizes as shown by the measuring tape are recorded on a slip handed to the soldier.
Next he is taken to a block long counter where a clerk begins to issue equipment, all personal articles, in sizes corresponding to those on the slip.
Gets Overcoat First
First the soldier receives an overcoat which is laid spread out on the counter. He pulls the coat along the counter and the clerk piles the other clothing on it.
When he reaches the counter's end the soldier has his complete wardrobe. He picks it up in his arms and walks out a nearby door and is directed to his quarters.
Each man receives the following items:
The entire operation, from the time a soldier is measured until he has received his last article of clothing, takes less than five minutes.
