The New
Army Green
Young men often ask us why
they should enlist for three
years since they do not intend
to make the army a career.
“Why shouldn’t I wait for the
draft and serve two years?”
they ask.
Actually, in some instances,
a man would be better off wait
ing for the draft. Each indi
vidual must weigh the advant
ages and disadvantages between
enlistment and the draft then
make up his own mind.
The man that enlists for
three years does have the ad

"choice” of training. While he
can enlist for a specific job,
whereas the draftee must take
his chance.
The enlistee is not wasting
the extra year of service be
cause chances are that the
three-year enlistment enables
him to learn, and gain experi
ence in, a vocational trade that
will help him obtain a good job
when he gets out of the army.
Men with army specialist and
vocational training are in de
mand by civilian companies.
Just recently, we came across
an advertisement placed by
American Telephone and Tele
gram Company’s Long Lines
Division. It carried the line,
“Military electronics training
is a plus.”
So, the extra year of military
training and experience will
probably pay big dividends
when it comes to looking for a
good job.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Is it true that a soldier re
ceives a month’s vacation a
year? Yes! All army personnel
receive 30 days paid leave a

who are stationed overseas use •
this leave time to travel
through foreign countries. In
addition to leave, members of
the army are eligible for three
day passes. Passes don’t count
as leave.
WHO SERVED THE
LONGEST?
Two years ago, we announc

local resident who served the
longest period of time in the
active army. Well, we have a
candidate. He’s Ralph Mason.

this question ? Which presidents

Generals in the Army ? First
five people to send us the cor

Send answers to us at the Re
cruiting Station.
IN MEMORIAM
L. P. SUMMERFORD
In loving memory of
who passed away four years
ago, November 16th, 1964
God took you home, it was His
will,
But in our hearts we love him
still.
His memory is as dear today,
As in the hour he passed away.
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
Sadly missed by
Wife and Children.
