David Neesmith wasn’t really
interested in joining the Army
when first approached by Sgt.
James Rowlette of the Army
Recruiting Station in Kings
Mountain.
But the Route 1, Kings Moun
tain resident begtm to get in
terested when Rowlette told him
of the foreign language oppor
tunities available.
And, when he went on to tell
of a Personnel Management pro
gram, he not only was able to
recruit David, but also his twin
sister, Donna.
The two 17-year-olds enlisted
on June 26 and face a four-year
hitch. David reports for eight
weeks of basic training at Ft.
Jackson, S.C., July 23 and Don
na will report to Ft. Jackson for
basic on January 12, 1982.
David studied several foreign
languages at Hunter Huss High
School in Gastonia, and
Rowlette’s suggestion that he
pursue the Army’s 98-G Russian
Language Course sounded good.
He scored high on tests and
the entrance exam, and follow
ing graduation from basic train
ing, will report to Monterrey,
Calif., for a year of study in the
Russian Language and Radio
Voice Communications.
David will receive a $3,000
enlistment bonus and will have
$14,100 set aside for his college
education for enlisting in the
Russian Language program.
Those benefits are given,
Rowlette said, “because it is hard
to find someone with the mental

capacity to learn the language,
plus have a clean record.
Because it is a security program,
persons entering that field can
not have any kind of a police
record.”
Donna will take her Personnel
Management Course at Ft. Ben
jamin Harrison in Ft. Bend, Ind.,
following her eight weeks of
basic training.
She chose to enter the Army,
she said, because “I think it will
be an adventure, and I’m really
serious about making the Army
my career. They have good
benefits and a lot of advantages
for me.”
Sgt. Rowlette echoed her feel
ings.
“1 have 12 years in the Army,
and it suits me because I love to
travel. An individual knows the
benefits before he enlists, but, of
course, it’s just like anything
else. It has its plusses and
minuses. There’s no way to real
ly make a career decision until
you’ve been in it. A lot of people
come out after four years, and a
lot of people come out and then
decide to re-enlist after seeing
what the job situation is. A lot of
people use their training suc
cessfully on the outside. You
just have to weigh the plusses
and minuses.”
One of the big advantages of
today’s Army, Rowlette feels, is
that recruits have a choice of a
field before entering. Every
enlistee is given a written
guarantee of his job training,
guarsmtee of the number years
of enlistment and guarantee of
first assignment, if available.
Rowlette says a lot of young
people “really don’t realize what
service can do for them, and
won’t come down (to the
Recruiting Office). I’m sure 1 can
help a lot of people who are in
terested in a specific field but are
not sure how to get started.”
Rowlette said many young
people get the idea that their
parents do not want them to
enter the service, but in most
cases, that is not true.
Because Donna and David are
only 17, they had to have their
father’s consent.
“He (Gene Neesmith) said he
knew it would be an advantage
for them but he didn’t want to
push them into joining,”
Rowlette said. “He said he was
looking forward to them getting
in and being successful. He’s real
happy for them.
“A lot of people get the idea
the parents donY want them to
join,” he added, “when, really,
the parents just don’t want to
push them.”
