[ “Would the Army
\ give me a good deal?”

We sure would,
Mister. The
Army welcomes
qualified men
who have previ
ous experience
in any branch of
the U. S. Armed
Forces.
Many men,
after leaving
the service, find
they “made a
mistake, should ve stayed in.” And
often, it hasn't been easy to return.
Now, however, we've made it faster
and easier than ever before. It makes
good sense, too, because your previ
ous service time counts toward pay,
rank, and retirement. Also, it’s even
possible to re-enter the service with
the rank held at time of separation
end at the Post of your choice.

out ihat such a project would be
extremely useful. He stated that he
felt the State might give from
$10,000 to $20,000 for such a project.
He urged that the required infor

Juneau as soon as possible, so that
it might be immediately considered.
