Air Force Inducing
Prior Service Men
Effective July 7, the air force
is offering a new program for the
re-enlistment of prior service
men. Available to all qualified
veterans discharged since July,
1951, the program stresses the
need for men with valuable oc
cupational skills and technical
knowledge.
T/Sgt. J. L. McCoy of the air
recruiting office at Norfolk will
foe at the postoffice in O’Neill
from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., on Monday,
July 18, to answer questions per
taining to this program and to
° interview all applicants for en
listment.
The change in policy was
brought about by the loss from
the air force of thousands of well
qualified and desirable men each
year. However, through the new
prior service program, the air
force hopes to retain many of
these men.
The plan, made more attractive
by several changes such as grade
determination and choice of as
signment, should enhance an air
force career considerably to vet
erans.
Basically, the new plan differs
from previous policy in grade de
termination, payment of re-en
lirtroent bonus, choice of assign
ment area, and the priority of
skills needed by the air force.
