You
were bom smart.
Make it
pay off in
the Navy.
The Navy Needs Nuclear Technicians
And Advanced Electronics Specialists.
Meet the qualifications and tlie Navy will offer
you up to $17,000 worth of advanced technical train
ing. The academic schedule in both fields will be
tough. Calling for concentration and honest effort.
But they don’t call for a super-brain. More important
will be a super-desire on your part to want to learn
and to achieve.
If you perform well you may become a second-
class petty officer during your initial enlistment, mak
ing over $700 a month (along with Navy benefits lile
medical and dental care). And, if you qualify and
benefits remain the same, there’ll be a bonus of up to
$12,000 offered to you by the Navy as a re-enlistment
incentive. Of course, it will take hard work and your
share of housekeeping chores. But your six years of
invaluable training and experience will assure you of
continuing opportunities in the future.
To get all the details on the Nuclear or the Ad
vanced Electronics Field Program, see your local
Navy recruiter.
