Mr. CARTER began his career with his commissioning in December 1943 after his graduation from flight school. He then spent the early years of his career in the air arm as a pilot, a student, and also as an instructor during which time he transferred to the Regular Navy. In May 1949, he reported to Glenview, Illinois, for duty under instruction in the CIC Officers School. Upon his graduation, he reported to the aircraft carrier U.S.S.
