"I am mighty proud to be in the
United States Army now, and hope
that I will remain in it until the
war is over," said Pvt. John Gjourop,
member of Company G of the 3651st
Service Unit, and formerly of the
Brazilian Army.
Pvt. Gjourop served in the artillery
forces of the Brazilian Army for 12
months. Two years of army training
is compulsory in Brazil. Pvt. Gjourop
only had to serve for a year since he
was still a student at the University
of Brazil, in Rio De Janeiro.
"Serving in the Brazilian Army
meant hard work all the time," said
Pvt. Gjourop. "There were no class-
es, and I didn't have a chance to
practice dentistry."
Long hikes through the mountains
with full pack was part of the daily
routine in the Brazilian Army. The
last hike that Pvt. Gjourop took, be-
fore he was discharged, was a 40-mile
trek over the mountains with full
pack. "That wasn't easy," comment-
ed Pvt. Gjourop.
Pvt. Gjourop was born in Denmark,
but later moved to Brazil, and be-
came a citizen of that country. He
has traveled through northern Eur-
ope and South America. Since com-
ing to the United States he has visit-
ed many of the interesting cities of
the country.
"After I finish my scholastic work
at Michigan, and get my commission,
AID FOR THE NEEDY
A Christmas Bureau has been set
up to organize Ann Arbor gifts of
food, clothing and money to under-
privileged persons in the county.
Ann Arbor residents who wish to
contribute are asked to call the Bu-
reau at Civilian Defense headquar-
ters.
I hope I will be sent to the Pacific.
Then I can really say I've been
around," stated Pvt. Gjourop.
After receiving his doctors degree
in dentistry at the University of Bra-
zil, Pvt. Gjourop came to Michigan to
continue his studies. "The hardest
part of studying in America at first
was reading English. I had been
used to studying text books written
in French and German."
His first semester on campus, Pvt.
Giourop studied' bacteriology and
pathology at the same time. These
courses are usually taken separately.
"Between taking these courses and
learning to study from textbooks
written in English, I had a pretty
hard time, but managed to come
through all right," said Pvt. Gjourop.
Pvt. Giourop joined the Army last
June and will graduate this June.
Upon graduation Pvt. Gjourop will
receive his commission in the United
States Army. "That will be a happy
day for me," he commented.
