ElvinJ. Nixon Gets
Paratrooper Wings
Chowan Boy Graduates
At Fort Benning No
. vember 8
Private Elvin J. Nixon, eon of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Nixon, Route 3, has
completed the J>asic airborne course
with the Airborne Battalion, Student
Training Regiment, at the Infantry
School, Fort Benning, Ga.
He was presented with the coveted
silver wings of a qualified para
trooper at the impressive graduation
ceremony at Basic Class No. 5 on
November Bth.
During his Jive weeks of strenuous
training at Fort Benning he learned
the techniques and principles of para
chute jumping and landing. In this
period he also made five supervised
jumps from a plane in flight at alti
tudes of 1,000 and 1,200 feet, one of
which was with complete combat
equipment.
A large part of his training cov
ered safety procedures in and around
airplanes both before and during ac
tual flight. It is this training which
has helped so materially to reduce ac
cidents among America’s paratroop
ers. Another interesting part of the
training was a glider flight he took
during his training period.
While at Fort Benning, considered
by many to be “America’s most com
plete military post,” he enjoyed the
same facilities that have made assign
ment to the post one of the most cov
eted in the Army. It was at Benning
that so many of America’s war lead
ers, such as Generals Marshall, Eisen
hower, Clark, Bradley and Patton
studied and taught. Many of the
present faculty members of the
schools at Benning studied and served
under these distinguished soldiers.

after which the lower floor will be
