Gen. Doyle Advises Senior Air Cadets

Maj. Gen. (Ret.) John P. Doyle, a soldier who entered the Army infantry 47 years ago, spoke to senior AFROTC cadets at Texas A&M Monday night.

The general is MacDonald Chair Professor of Transportation at A&M and serves on several na­tional committees.

Speaking in the Architecture Building auditorium, Gen. Doyle advised the contract seniors to be sure about their commissions.

“THE SORRIEST thing I know of is an officer who really doesn’t want to be in the service — one

who just marks time and keeps his nose clean until retirement,” commented Gen. Doyle.

“If you’re in doubt about the service, get out early,” he said.

“The service wants no ‘yes men’,” he continued, “but it does demand compliance with deci­sions.”

GEN. DOYLE went on to ex­plain that a good officer should learn the difference between arguing against a decision and presenting a differing opinion. He also advised that a good officer will get to know the men who serve under him.

“Know your people, their names, jobs, families and be fa­miliar with some of the problems which may confront them,” the A&M professor said.

HE POINTED out that as of­ficers the cadets would have to do a certain amount of guidance and counseling for their men.

“Your men are going to look to their nearest officer for assist­ance,” he quipped.
