My dad also received his basic training in Newport. Before he passed last year he was a member of an Armed Guard group in North Carolina. In recent months I have slowly uncovered a great deal of information. The Armed Guard received little recognition for their outstanding service. I highly recommend the several books regarding personal experiences. There is a fountain of information but one has to do a great deal of research because records don’t always tell the entire story.
Good luck!
