William M. Hebner, son of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Hebner of 510 Nahatan Street, Norwood, has departed from the South Weymouth Naval Air Station for recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S. C.
Upon completion of the 12-week "Boot Camp," Private Hebner will attend the Aviation Familiarization School at Jacksonville, Fla., for basic instruction in the aviation field and assignment to a specific skill.
Hebner, who enlisted under the Marine Air Reserve's six-month training program, will then return to the Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment at South Weymouth to complete his initial six months of active duty.
He will then be released to pursue his civilian occupation and will fulfill the remainder of his six-year military obligation as a member of one of the Marine Air Reserve squadrons at South Weymouth.
As a member of one of New England's only Marine Air Reserve units, he will attend drills one weekend per month and an additional two weeks of annual active duty which is usually performed during the summer or vacation months.
