National Guard Offers
Young Men A Way Out
Of Two-Year Army Hitch
SYLVA - The 'call of the
draft* la catching up with the
younger registrants now, due
to the new order giving mar
ried man draft exemption.
This new rule la causing
local <h-aft boards to dip Into
their pools of young hi en who
previously dl&i't have to face
up to the problem until they
reached 23 or 34 years of age.
But the North Carolina
National Guard still offers a
way oat of a 94 month hitch.
First Sgt. Paul M. Mull of
the Syiva unit of the N. C.
Army National Guard said this
week, "why take 34 months
active duty when you can Join
the Guard and take only six
months."
Sylva is the home of theSnd
Rifle and Weapons Platoon of
Company C, 1st Battalion,
130th Infantry of theNCARNG.
Sgt. Mull pointed out that
the unit has a number of open
ings for young men who want
to serve six months in the
Army Instead of two years.
The First Sgt. also said
that he could sign kg) prior
servicemen, both noncoms and
officers, at the rank they held
when they were discharged,
"and the pay is good," he ad
ded, "because Guardsmen get
a full day's pay according to
the Army scale for attending
a two-hour drill."
"Every soldier now has a
six year obligation," Sgt. Mull
pointed out, "no matter how he
chooses to serve."
in me ouara, me volunteer
serves six months active duty,
usually at Fort Jackson, then
returns home where he is
reassigned to his home unit
and attends 48 two-hour drills
a year, on Monday nights at
the Sylva unit, plus a 16 day
summer encampment with his
unit each year, for five and
a half years.
Men who are drafted, serve
two years active duty, two
years in die active reserves,
with weekly drills and the
same 16 day summer encamp
ment, and two years in the
standby reserves.
Young men who join die
Guard when they are between
the ages of 17 and IS and a
half serve six months active
duty, only two and a half years
active reserve duty, and three
years in the standby reserves.
'Tor a young man who is
anxious to get back home and
continue his civilian career,"
Sgt. Mull said, "the National
Guard is the logical choice." -
Enlistments in Guard units
are limited, the First Sgt.
?
pointed out, and young men
who choose to take only six
mcrtha active duty should con
tact Sgt. Mull at the National
Guard Armory in Sylva as
soon as possible.
Other ex-servicemen who
want to sign up and take ad
vantage of being in the Guard
can also contact Sgt. MulL
