Friday, September 21, 1945 CLOUDBUSTER Page Three Release Rate of Naval Personnel The Navy plans to release 75,000 officers and 790,000 enlisted personnel by the end of the year. The schedule for release of personnel through Sept. 1, 1946, the date of the Navy’s goal for complete demobilization, provides for the release of 3,000,000 officers and men. Transfers to the regular Navy may reduce this figure. The following table shows the planned Navy release schedule by months: End of Officers Officers Enlisted Enlisted Month Released Remaining* Released Remaining* 1945 Sept 11,200 313,700 121,000 2,970,000 Oct 16,100 298,700 171,000 2,820,000 Nov 21,100 278,700 221,000 2,620,000 Dec 26,000 253,800 251,000 2,390,000 1946 Jan 25,900 229,000 257,300 2,153,700 Feb 25,900 204,200 257,300 1,917,400 Mar 25,900 179,400 257,300 1,681,100 April 25,900 154,600 257,300 1,444,800 May 25,900 129,800 257,300 1,208,500 June 25,900 105,000 257,300 972,200 July 25,900 80,300 257,300 735,900 Aug 23,700 57,800 256,900 500,000 * Residual figures include estimated input. Crew-cial News By Ann Onomus, Y3/c, V-10, USNR The beat, beat of raindrops on our windows every morning, the brisk pleasure of stepping out to chow with puddles surrounding our feet and havelocks or drenched caps enclosing our heads, that’s a soggy life. We weren’t a bit dismayed when Michael DiBiase, CSp(A), and Milton Hodosh, Sp(A)3/c, en tered Alex Hall on Saturday noon with a brown flowered umbrella for protection. As a result of combat duty against the elements, Ruth McConnell, PhM3/c, plans to apply for sea pay. Rainy weather heightened in terests in two sports, pingpong and scuttlebutt. Outside the chow hall we heard throughout our meals the steady click of celluloid on wood. William Phil lips, HAl/c, was our champ, and Howard Jones, PhMl/c, and Dorothea Bauer, SKDl/c, our runners-up. A newcomer to the game, French Manckia, CSM, found his greatest success came when he kept his coat on, and he always wound up by saying, “Let’s play the tie off.” Scuttlebutt flourished this week with the bywords, “What’s the latest, dope?” At the Sun day evening meal every guest was assailed upon his entrance by the information, “Martin’s here.” Since then this elusive figure named Martin has come, has gone on leave and now has a ten-day extension. Created in some genius’ mind, he is not to be confused with our Joseph Martin, CPhM. ❖ ^ * The civilian clothes deal crashed upon us, and Wilda Baker, Yl/c, bought a sophisti cated black dress. Certain of her departure day after tomor row, Jane Woods, PhM2/c, started packing Tuesday night and issued a pair of GI shoes to Martha Hawkins, SKD2/c. Com ment made, “I always liked them on Jane.” By the way, Billie and Janie advanced to the above ratings as of the 16th. * * * Speaking of advancements, did you know that Eugene J. Anderson and Charles N. Marra, or “Chuck and Andy,” went up to HAl/c, but they are still hav ing trouble in locating the gear they left in front of Hospital Barracks “G,” Great Lakes? Robert Krogman, RM3/c, ad vanced too when he became a father of a 6V2 pound boy. He announced at 1210, 15 Septem ber, that Tommy was exactly nine hours and ten minutes old. Bob claims his baby was differ ent because his feet stuck straight out and he had already flirted with the nurses. Chicken, cole slaw, potato salad and stuff. On the only moonlit evening of the week, that was last Wednesday, the WAVES held a picnic at Hogan’s Lake. The bus loaded promptly at 1700 and upon the arrival of Nancy Winn, Lt. (jg), the pas sengers sang appropriately, “Here we are like birds in the wilderness, waiting for Mrs. Winn.” Before the digging into the grub, the WAVES presented Mrs. Winn with a silver sugar and cream set she said she had rapturously gazed upon twenty times. We discovered Maurice Wright, Sp(W)2/c, and Emil Pradarelli, S2/c, marvelous hash- slingers and know they must be good around the house. After overindulging ourselves with food, we had the benefits of playing pingpong, baseball, “One potato. Two potato” and jitterbugging to the phono graph. When the Carolina Moon shone down, we sang around the firelight all the Navy songs and sentimental ballads we knew, and a finale of “Auld Lang Syne.” Don’t forget the party at the Country Club on Saturday night. Refreshments, 1800, chicken, 1900, and dancing at 2030. —Separations— (Continued from Page 1) trainees already have been trans ferred to Navy Separation Cen ters for release to inactive duty, under the option offered aviation cadets to avoid an immediate ex cess of qualified pilots. The rec ords of about 700 more awaiting separation have also been pro cessed. Thirteen officers and a half dozen enlisted men with suffi cient points for release now are heading for civilian life through Separation Centers. The Navy has fixed the fastest demobilization schedule of any armed service' and expects to be the first service to reach peace time strength. One of every three persons in the Navy will be out in five months (mid-February), one of every two will be out in seven months (mid-April), two of every three will be out in nine months (mid-June), and by Aug. 31, 1946, the Navy will be down to peacetime strength. OPERATIONAL REPORT DEPARTURES: Lt. D. L. Gentry; Lt. Comdr. P. W. Bryant; Lt. Comdr. A. W. Richardson; Lt. (jg) J. D. Demasi; Lt. G. R. McClure. ARRIVALS: Lt. S. E. Trani; Lt. P. W. McCloud; Lt. M. J. Brennan. AT NAVY THEATER—Pretty and appealing Joan Leslie, who symbolizes wife or sweetheart for many servicemen overseas, appears on the screen of the Vil lage Theater Sunday in “Where Do We Go From Here.” NavyAnnouncesIts Plan for Personnel Now in Training Decision on the disposition of personnel now engaged in cer tain Navy training programs, in cluding the larger officer train ing programs, was announced by the Navy Department early this week. Trainees in the NROTC sched uled to graduate in the term ending Nov. 1 will be retained on active duty after commission ing unless they are eligible for release on points under the de mobilization formula. Transfers to the NROTC program from V-12 will increase the number in NROTC to approximately 19,- 000 by Nov. 1. Engineers, physics majors, aerology majors, and pre-supply candidates will complete their training in V-12 and will be re tained on active duty. They will be commissioned as officers upon the completion of their V-12 courses, or iipon the completion of further training, to be subse quently determined. Medical, dental, theological, pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-theological students will be released to in active duty in the Naval Re serve, with the stipulation that they continue their medical, dental, theological, pre-medical, pre-dental, or pre-theological training. In the midshipman training ^ program, carried on through the ' Naval Reserve Midshipmen’s Schools, all graduates prior to Sept. 1 and since that date have been called to active duty. Aviation cadets in training under the V-5 program will be released, without restriction as to number, to inactive duty if they do not wish to continue their training. Aviators are in excess and are being released under reduced critical scores in the demobilization plan. The length of time, the expense and the hazards in training aviation cadets were other factors in this decision. ‘Hardship’ Defined For Officer Release With many officers requesting release from Naval service for business, financial and conve nience reasons, the Secretary of the Navy has issued a statement that “only exceptional cases in volving real personal hardship to the individual or his family will receive favorable action.” Typical cases not considered as constituting hardship are “personal inconveniences result ing from Naval service; cases involving employment oppor tunities; desire of employer for return of employee; importance of civilian employment to recon version or postwar economy; in adequacy of Navy pay except in extreme cases of unusual ex penses due to illness and the like.”
