Mountaineer To
Assist The Navy
In Drive For Men
Opportunities Open To Men
From 17 To 50 To Enlist In
Navy Or Naval Reserve.
At the suggestion of Secretary
of Navy Knox, members of the
staff of The Mountaineer have
been assigned to help the navy in
giving ambitious local young men
information about the opportun
ties the "Two-Ocean Navy" offers
them for technical training and
advancement as they serve their
country in its emergency.
- According to an announcement
made public in Washington, a lim-
ited number of additional men
between the ages of 17 and 50
vill be given a chance, by enlist
ment in the navy or naval reserve,
to get to the top, with big pay, in
jobs which by their aptitude and
as a result of examination they
show themselves fitted, from among
nearly 50 different trades and vo
cations. These include such call
ings as aviation machinist, dental
-technician, photographer, diesel
engineer, radio technician, electri
cian, welder, storekeeper, and bak
er. Enlisted men may also qualify
for commissions as officers.
Beginning this week ,the navy
plans for a limited time to accept
new qualified men for training.
These men will be sent to one of
four naval training stations and'
may have a chance to a navy trade ,
school even bfeore assignment to '
. the fleet. During this period they I
will be given regular navy pay and !
the navy's free schooling is valued j
at hundreds of dollars. I
"Never in the history of the
United States has there been great-1
er opportunity for loyal young '
Americans to serve tneir country .
and build their futures than right
now," said Secretary Knox.
In .outlining the many advan
tages offered by enlistment in the
United States navy, it was said,
"It is possible for a bright young
man to increase his pay seven
times during his first enlistment
and he can earn as much as $126
a month. This monthly figure is
actually worth much more when
it is remembered that the man has
few living expenses and is pro
vided with the finest of medical
and dental care.
"You have all your food and
lodging, and also your original
outfit of clothing provided by
Uncle Sam free. In addition there
are free sports and entertainment
even to the latest Hollywood
pictures. On top of this you get
free travel, and adventure in col
orful places a thing few civilians
can afford.
"When you consider the size of
this country and the fact that the
navy will select only 15,000 appli
cations a month from many times
that number throughout tiie Unit
ed States, the quotation, 'Many
are called but few are chosen',
will apply to local young men in
terested. : ,
"Navy men are a 'hand-picked'
lot. Candidates must be men of
more than average intelligence and
ambition, of fine moral character
and must have the written recom
mendation of at least two local
townspeople."
The Mountaineer has just re
ceived from Washington a supply
of free illustrated booklets for all
men interested and, in addition,
will welcome inquiries from young
men who wish to look into the new
and greater opportunities the navy
now offers for training for future
civilian careers as they serve their
country now in its emergency.
