NON-SWIMMERS
(Continued from page three)
“This non-swimmers program is
in addition to the regular aquatic
training that every cadet receives.
“All pre-flighters spend a great
deal of their time in the water,
learning to master naval swim
ming tactics such as staying afloat
for lengths of time, climbing cargo
nets wet, disrobing in the drink,
carrying rifles while swimming,
etc.”
“No Liberty”
READING his “No Liberty” Orders, Craven Gridley, USNR, pic
tured above, was detached this week, along with 115 cadets, for Primary
Plight training at Peru, Indiana. A holdover from the 20th Battalion,
Cadet Gridley stated through his superiors that he was looking forward
to some day landing in Tokio,
Craven Gridley Detached
To Peru With 115 Cadets
His vision is 20-20, eyes brown, hair red, brown and white. He’s
eight inches tall and two feet long plus tail. His address was 202
Manly Hall.
This week he was detached. Along with 115 cadets. Craven Gridley
went to the Naval Air Station at Peru, Indiana.
Here at Chapel Hill Gridley found the Pre-Flight program tough.
For a while he didn’t think he^
would make the grade. A turnback
from the 20th Battalion C-2 to the
21st Battalion F-2, he had to spend
nights and week end liberty study
ing. But Craven wanted to go to
Tokio, and he knew his best chance
was to become an Ensign with
wings.
So much time did Gridley spend
on his books that in order to leave
with the 21st Battalion he got no
liberty. It wasn’t until the last
minute that the military depart
ment officially signed his papers.
•News of his departure spread
quickly over the station. Four of
the cadets—K. W. Allen, Beverly
Hills, California, Bob Kretzan,
Richmond Hill, N. Y., T. H. Cart
wright, San Diego, California, and
Jimmy Talley, Atlanta, Georgia
—who were going to Peru and who
had helped Gridley with his math
(he was unusually weak in this
subject) agreed to look after him.
It is rumored that Gridley call
them Seabiscuit, Crip, Rebel and
Bob.
Craven couldn’t sign his own
papers, but he watched Ensign
Joseph Frank, USNR, put his John
Hancock on the dotted line.
By now he’s at Peru. Another
three months, and he’ll start his
secondary t.aiiiing. Then to Pen
sacola, an Ensign with wings, and
Tokio.
That’s the ambition of Craven
Gridley. A dog with 20-20 vision,
brown eyes, red, brown and white
hair. A dog eight inches tall and
two feet long plus tail.
