CADETS
Miller

ture duty, Hoben says, “I’ll do a varia
tion of the mustache clipping with a
fighter squadron in the Pacific—Shave
and a haircut, two Nips!”
There is another room shared by four
air and seafaring cadets headed up by
former Lieut, (jg) Miller, 21, Hazle-
hurst, Miss. Miller, now Aviation
Cadet Jefferson Davis Miller, has been
in the Navy since
August, 1940. He
resigned his well
earned commission,
and promotion, to
win and wear the
Navy wings of
gold. He made a
cruise aboard the
U S S Tuscaloosa,
and then was as
signed to recruit
training duty at
Great Lakes. He
applied for and got sub chaser train
ing at Miami and shipped aboard one
of Uncle Sam’s newest and trimmest
110 foot PC boats.
After seven months tedious and long
convoy and anti-sub patrol, he became
a real salt water veteran. He cruised
in fair weather and foul, became fa
miliar with water rationing and lack
of fresh food, and ranged from Key
West to Panama to Trinidad frequently
picking up survivors from torpedoed
merchantmen. When his ship -dry-
docked at Key West in October he ap
plied for flight training and now hits
the deck at 5:30 in the morning to take
orders from men he once outranked.
A trio of ex-airborne seamen round
out this particular room: Cadets War
ren Meadows, 22, of St. Louis, George
Day, 20, of up-state New York, and
Lloyd Barkley, 20, of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
all former Aviation Machinists Mates,
USN. The three of them represent a
total of 3 V2 years duty and 2,600 hours
of flight time in PBY patrol boats.
And so you have a small part of the
cadets’ origin. They are a true cross-
section of American youth. Some like
classical music, others swing and jive.
Some talk of the life they knew in the
past, others talk only of the future.
Some want the medals, high speeds,
and glory of air fighting, others want
to fight quietly in the way they believe
most efficient. But for all their dif
ferences—political, economic, tempera
mental, social, geographical—they are
welded together in the Pre-Flight
School to form a clean, lean, and in
telligent group dedicated to fighting
for and winning the American way of
life against all comers.

in V-5. He took his secondary CPT
course at Syracuse before coming to
Chapel Hill for Pre-Flight training.
Now he’s getting ready for the big
fight, still likes basketball, but is, as
he should be, more interested in be
coming a good flier. He wants duty in
the Pacific, and he’s ready to go.
Teaching and politics were his main
ambitions two years ago. Now he’s
about made up his mind to make the
Navy a permanent career.

STORY

ture on the front page smiled at him.
That helmet-framed face was familiar.
A little older. The smile a trifle harder,
perhaps.
He gasped, “Roddy Payne.”
The Skipper nodded, his wise smile
saying more than the words,
“The first of a long line of our
famous alumni, I trust. Funny thing,
though; I seem to recall that almost
everyone was ready to give up on that
boy at one time, Kelly.”
Kelly gulped, “Yes, sir.”
He moved over to the window, star
ing out at nothing. Finally he mut
tered, as though the words hurt him.
“I guess there are more ways than one
to win a war.”
And his fingers closed tightly around
the paper he was carrying, crumpling
it into a ball.
