Commissions For
Qualified Veterans
Qualified veterans of the Armed
Forces who have completed two
years of college can get immediate
commissions as second lieutenants
in the Officers’ Reserve Corps un
der a plan recently announced by
the Department of the Army. Suc
cessful applicants will be given
two years active duty with the
army.
The program is part of an inten
sive nation-wide campaign to re
build the officer strength, partic
ularly in the company grades. The
expansion of the army has created
many openings in the officer
grades.
The new plan provides one of
the simplest and easiest means for
qualified young men to attain
commissioned status over offered
by the army. Qualified applicants,
of whatever previous rank in the
army, marine corps, air force, or
coast guard, will be given com
missions immediately, followed by
a 12-week course in a branch serv
ice school to prepare them for
their responsibilities as an officer.
It is believed the offer will at
j tract a large number of qualified
I young men who did not attain
j commissioned status during the
recent war.
The offer is open to men be
: tween the ages of 19 and 32, who
have had at least one year’s active
service in any of the armed forces
of the United States during the
period December 7. 1941, and
June 30, 1947. The educational re
quirements specify that the appli
cant must have completed two
years at a nationally accredited
college or university, and score at
least 110 in the Army’s General
Classification Test.
Applicants must pass a physical
examination and be approved by
a board of officers. These boards
are located throughout the United
States, at Army posts and stations
and at U. S. recruiting district
headquarters.
This opportunity for commis
sioned status is available to men
now serving in the army.
Because the policy of the army
is to encourage young men to com
plete their education, college stu
dents, or men scheduled to attend
college at the time of xpctd entry
on active duty, are not eligible.
U. S. army recruiting stations
will begin to receive applications
at once. Men already in the army
will send their applic a t i o n s
through military channels.
be considered a forum and of vital
interest to the people of Nome
with a thorough presentation of
many matters close to them.
From this meeting a program
for the next legislature and Con
gress will be assembled.
