Hello, everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with information regarding the enlistment process for the Armed Forces in the US in WWII? What records did you need, what was the process like, what forms were filled out, did the physical occur there, when was the enlistee approved and when would he receive his uniform, etc?

There is surprisingly little information about the recruiting/enlistment process on the web (that I've been able to find, anyway) so ANY information will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!

Edited to add: I could also use some information regarding formation of units. I am particularly interested in the 29th Infantry Division, during WWII. I read on wikipedia that it was made up of National Guard units...does this mean that folks who enlisted would not have been put in this unit, only people who were in the National Guard prior to the war? TIA.
