Transcription

Our basic training was at Manning Depot at Rockcliffe. We lived in barracks, just the women. We were broken down into squadrons and flights, just like the men and we did everything together, just women. We did have some flight instructors, some... phys ed instructors that were men but mostly it was just women.I was always in what they called the No. 1 Flight which was the first squadron, No 1 Flight, and I don’t know why but I always seemed to be in the front row and then... and then I went to Toronto for trade training and from there I was posted back to... at Y Depot in Halifax and from there I went to Scoudouc, NB and from there I went to Eastern Air Command in Halifax and from there to Air Force Headquarters and that’s when I became more involved in the Precision Drill Squad. We again had formed squadrons and flights and whatever and again I was in the No. 1 Flight.
