Small arms maybe more accurate term as there were plenty of ATS Gunners operating anti-aircraft guns.
Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

during WWII progressed from EFTS (Elementary Flight Training School) through SFTS (Service Flying Training School to an OTU (Operational Training Unit). Those destined to become mechanics and technicians attended TTS (Technical Training School) such as the one at St. Thomas, Ontario while RCAF clerks and drivers attended No.1 CTS (Composite Training School) at Trenton. Ontario. There was also No.1 ITS (Initial Training School) in Toronto, Ontario where cadet pilots learned drill, rank structure, dress, and deportment. I've scoured my books on the history of the RCAF and no reference to ATS found.
I very quickly found references to "Advanced Training Schools".
