FT. STEWART. OA. - One
day you're a civilian enjoying
the comforts of home. The next,
you're out in a swamp sharing
a pup tent with the chiggers
and ticks.
Such a radical transition can
end up in medical problems,
both physical and mental.
Among the medical officers
treating the approximately 12,
000 National Guardsmen from
the Carolines and Georgia trail
ing how for two weeks are
Maj. James T. Alley of Greens
boro and LL Col. Corbett L.
Quinn of Duplin County.
Alley, a Greensboro eye
specialist, is in charge of med
ical aid for the 20th Infantry
Division's artillery troops,
while Quinn, a general practi
tioner, commands Headquart
ers and Company A of the 105th
Medical Battalion in Goldsboro.
Both agree that the biggest
problem facing them is the
lack of space at Ft Stewart's
antiquated SO-bed post hospital.
Serious cases must be evacuat
ed to Hunter Army Airfield
near Savannah, about 50 miles
from here.
.A few men have been taken
to Hunter for treatment, but
most complaints have been of
a less serious nature. There
have been the usual number of
field maladies - tick and ehig
