McGovern attended Mitchell High School, where he was a solid but unspectacular member of the track team. A turning point came when his tenth-grade English teacher recommended him to the debate team, where he became quite active.<ref name="airjourn">{{Cite news|url=http://www.airportjournals.com/Display.cfm?varID=0605004|work=[[Airport Journals]]|title=The Outspoken American: Aviator, Senator and Humanitarian George McGovern|author=Moore, S.

After three months in Muskogee, McGovern went to Coffeyville Army Airfield in [[Kánzạs|Kansas]] for a further three months of training on the BT‑13.  Around April 1944, McGovern went on to advanced flying school at Pampa Army Airfield in [[Texas]] for twin-engine training on the AT‑17 and AT‑9.<ref name="ambrose-68" /> Throughout, Air Cadet McGovern showed skill as a pilot, with his exceptionally good depth perception aiding him.  Eleanor McGovern followed him to these duty stations, and was present when he received his wings and was commissioned a second lieutenant.<ref name="ambrose-68" />
