Girl: “What do you mean by saying that
the dates you had with me were like a
string of pearls to you?”
Sailor: “Neckless, dearie, neckless.”

A soldier recently transferred to a car
rier pigeon outfit was busy cleaning out a
cage. He sang as he worked. A passing
captain commented, “Good heavens, don’t
tell me that you enjoy doing that?”
“Sir,” replied the soldier, “before coming
here I was in the cavalry.”

Jock McDougal had blown his lassie to
a movie and even hailed a cab to her home.
As they were riding along, she, knowing
his natural bent concerning money, re
marked: “Oh, Jock, it does make me feel
awfully wicked riding like this.”
At that Jock cheered up tremendously.
“Then, maybe,” said he, “it’ll be worth
the money after all.”

Mrs. Lottie Prim was recently granted a
divorce when she testified that, since her
marriage, her husband had spoken to her
hut three times. She was awarded the cus
tody of their three children.
Here’s to the girl with the turned-up
nose.
The turned-in eyes and the turned-down
hose.
With the turned-on heat and the turned-
down light—
The hunch I had turned out all right.

GCM Prisoners Are Given
Chance to Make Good
(SEA)—A BuPers program to retrain
GCM prisoners giving them another chance
to make good in the service has been highly
successful, according to a Navy Department
report. More than 80% of the trainees
have been successfully restored to active
duty.
The first Naval Retraining Command has
been in operation a year at Camp Peary,
Va., and a second was established in June
1945 at Farragut, Idaho.
With the motto “Salvage and Reissue”
the Retraining Command studies each man,
determines the reason for his failure and
attempts to correct the conditions respon
sible. Assistance is given every retrainee
to help him solve personal problems.
Only men guilty of military offenses who
are within the normal psychiatric limits
and who have three to 12 months to serve
are accepted for retraining. They follow a
rigid routine of education, training, ath
letics, work, military drill and discipline.
A case history is made of each man after
interviews with psychiatrists, psychologists
and educational, industrial, religious and
Red Cross consultants after which suitable
corrective action is assigned him in the re
training program.
“Short-timers” are assigned to general
maintenance detail while those serving
longer go into office or industrial work for
which they are best qualified.
Detailed records are kept of the prison
er’s aptitude, work, adjustment, and to
gether with neuropsychiatric reports allow
him to request clemency or mitigation of
sentence for earlier restoration to duty.
After serving but one-third of their sen
tence GCM prisoners are eligible for con
sideration.
Of the 3,766 prisoners received at Camp
Peary, 2,655 have been restored to active
duty, 960 are still there and 151 have been
rejected and transferred.
