There is an alternative jto
being drafted you can volun
teer. Unless you have volunteered,
your draft board can put the
nnger on you at any time
from age 18 1-2 through 25.
As a volunteer, you will
have the same six-year total
military obligation as a draf
tee, but your active duty may
range from a few months to
six years. And, unlike a draf
tee, you will be able to choose
your service.
You should shop around to
see what each of the armed
services offers in the way of
regular or reserve enlistment.
The pay will all be the same,
but you may find that one ser
vice seems better than an
other as to how and where
you would like to work off
your six-year military obliga
tion. s
Where do you go if you .
want to do some comparison
shopping?
Well, you can start off with
the recruiting office or offi
cer located in most cities, at
the post office or in their own
offices. The recruiting officer
(often a noncommissioned of
ficer with service stripes up
to his elbow) has been around
a long time.
In the larger recruiting of
fice there will be a repre
sentative of each service, but
in many one man talks for all
the services. He has pamph
lets full of information too.
Once he has received his or
ders to report, the draft regis
trant no longer may volunteer
for National Guard or reserve
units. But the' door to enlist
ment in the regular Army,
Navy, Marine Corps or A i r
Force is still open until he
actually begins the process of
involuntary induction.
To help you choose, here is
how the programs stack up:
What About Reserves?
Service in the National Guard or other reserve units
is by no means a guaranty against finding yourself on
active federal duty.
Until now, the government hasn't called on reserve
units for service in Asia. Secretary of Defense McNa
mara says that among other things he wants to keep
them "available to meet new emergencies."
Within the reserves are' ten high priority divisions.
Their members probably will be among the first affect
ed by any call into federal service.
And if you think the Guard and reserves still drill
just a few hours once a week, you are wrong. In the
high priority forces, its six drills a month of four hours
each, plus field exercises, plus the possibility of weeks
or even months on full time duty or, in some instances,
full-time assignment.
or four-year vocational school
or junior college, an enlistee
is eligible for training m one
of approximately 60 specialists.

tude and performance.

in inactive reserve but usuallv
in an organized reserve unit.
The Naval Air Reserve has a
limited program feauiring six
months of active duty and
five and a half years inactive.
Active duty in the naval re
serve is arranged to avoid in
terference with schooling; de
ferments are possible for con
tinuation in school or college.
Air Force

tg&
Regular Army: age limits

you want to try for the grad

classroom courses to help you
along in education while in
service you must be a high
school graduate.
If you qualify through apti
tude and physical examina
tions, you also have a fair
choice in vocational training
in such fields as electronics,
radar, missiles, automotive
repair and other subjects.
In combat arms, the Army
gives a choice of service in
the infantry (which includes
airborne troops), armor
(tanks) or artillery. You can
request overseas assignment
(in many cases they don't
wait for you to request it.)
Army Reserve Forces: age
limit 17 to 26. If you have not

one year in order to complete

tude score qualifying him for

educational background, apti
tude score and the require
ments of the air force.
Reserves: 17 to 26; six year
enlistment; you serve a mini
mum of four months and such
additional active duty for
training as may be required.
This qualifies you for the spe
ciality you requested at the
time you signed up. When ac
tive duty training is completed,
assignments is to participa
tion in a ready reserve unit.
Coast Guard
Regular: 17 to 26 years;
four year enlistment. After
completion of basic training,
the Coast Guard says, "con

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Eighteen years ago Evelyn Wood, a Utah school teacher, made a
startling discovery that led to the founding of Reading.Dynamics.
While working toward a master's degree, she handed a term paper
to a professor and watched him read the 89 pages jit 6,000 words
per minute with outstanding recall and comprehension. Deter
mined to find the secret behind such rapid reading, she spent the
next two years tracking down 50 people who could read faster
than 1,500 words per minute. She studied their techniques,
taught herself to read at these faster rates. Now, after years of
experience in public schools and universities, she has made it
"possible for you to benefit from this great, discovery. j-.
Is It Simply A Promotion Stunt ?
Over the past eleven years more than 160,000 graduates have been
convinced that Reading Dynamics is a proven method. About
Reading Dynamics' impact on our nation's legislators. Time Maga
zine said "Washington has seen nothing like it since the days when
Teddy Roosevelt read three books a day and ran the country at
the same time."
Conventional rapid reading courses aspire to 450-600 words per
minute. Most Reading Dynamics graduates can read between 1,000
and 3,000 words per minute, and many go even higher.
Money - Back Guarantee
We guarantee to increase the reading efficiency of each
