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.
