Requirements of education and physical qualifications are not
beyond the reach of any average young woman. Two years of
high school or business school training and good average health
will qualify any woman for service in the Women’s Reserve.
Should a recruit not have any specialized type of training or busi
ness experience, the Navy may find her fitted for some special
ized training in a Navy training school. All recruits are given
special training of some sort in the Navy’s fine schools.
Technical training or training in business or professional work
by the Navy will be of value to women reservists after the war
wThen they return to civilian life. During the war the women res
ervists will be performing an outstanding patriotic service to
their country, increasing the total manpower of the nation’s ex
panding Navy and performing vital functions of the Navy’s ac
tivities which now take the time and attention of men badly
needed for the fighting fleets.
