U. S. Air Force
Crew 79,000
’hirin'* ^ ear
l ^_
Since its last birthday, the U. S.
Air Force has grown from a total
strong h of 311,000 officers and
enlisted men and women to more
than 390,000, approximately 120,
000 of whom are stationed over
seas.
The Air Force will celebrate its
first year of autonomy as a co
, equal of the Army and the Navy
in the National Military Establish
ment on Air Force Day, Saturday,
i September 18, 1948.
During the last year, Congress
; raised the USAF’s strength ceiling
j from 401,000 to 502,000 and au
■ thorized the Air Force to accept up
j to 15,000 18-year-old volunteers
for one-year terms of enlistment.
; Although the USAF can turn to
; selective service for draftees to
maintain its strength, Secretary of
the Air Force, W. Stuart Syming
ton told Congressional committees
earlier this year that the air force
was confident it could continue on
an all-volunteer basis and did not
foresee the use of conscripts to
build up to its ultimate planned
strength.
The Air Force now gives first
priority to high school graduates
who can qualify for enlistment
under the Aviation Career Plan
and receive specialized technical
training of their own choice. Mar
ried men may enlist only if they
are eligible to be accepted for
service in the first three grades
because of former military service
or by possessing specialized skill.
