Greencastle, returned from service outside the continental United States, now is being processed through the Army Air Forces Redistribution Station No. 2 in Miami Beach, where his next assignment will be determined. This Is one of the Redistribution. Stations within the AAF Personnel Distribution Command.

Returnees live at a Redistribution Station under conditions that encourage natural response to processing, the greater part of their two-week stay being devoted to rest and rec-
reation.
AAF personnel, er.listed men and officers alike, are assigned to a Redistribution Station upon their return to the United States, but do not report to the station until completing a furlough or leave of three weeks. Captain Sims, a B-24 pilot, won the Air Medal. During 11 months in th« European theater he flew 50 missions. The 25 years old officer is tht son, of George. Sims, R. 2, Green,
