After that, nothing happened to the regiment until 28 June, when the first personnel began streaming in from the 928th Regiment, the 805th, 187Sth, 1896th and 1897th Engineer Aviation Battalions, from the first Air force, from the 939th Camoufiage Battalion. for the next few weeks the company acted like the next best thing to a repple depp!e, with literally hundreds of men coming in , answering once or twice to 1st Sgt Lyons' bull-roar, then moving along.
