Been looking on info of my grandfather

I found a paper (certificate) that says "Anthony Galier has satisfactorily completed instructor training and is now qualified to teach" for motorcycle mechanics. This was at fort knox
No I do not have earlier address, that's it. Earlier ones were probably lost/destroyed over time. I believe he did serve prior to Pearl Harbor, but no letters/addresses before that time. Seems the earliest I have was '44.

 

His discharge document should have the day he entered service. It might match his enlistment record at NARA:

Two mechanics listed in the Armored Rifle Company, one drove a jeep and other a halftrack.
T/O&E 7-27

His discharge papers state he entered service in June of '41.
They match that document

I'm having trouble understanding the second link

 

T/O&E 7-27 Rifle Company, Armored Infantry Battalion (15 September 1943).pdf

Page 2 lists 2 mechanics. Reference the "Remarks" at the bottom of page 3.

 

Ah I see. It seems though he mostly carried a Garand, as that is the only thing seen in pictures when he has a weapon. I know from letters at one time he was a mortar man, when he switched companies.
