Case institute of Technology Cleveland, Ohio A 2 S? fconcluded from page 182 tography School, SeaBee School, and Communica- tions School. Some assignments, such as Robin L. Miller's, called for attendance at the Navy's Postgraduate School in Monterey after completion of courses at one of the technical schools. Not all the Stateside billets were truly landlocked. Raymond A. Silva, for instance, was headed for Pen- sacola, Florida, there to start the pre-flight training that would eventually lead to a pilot's status. Flight school time, however, was added to the required two-year service period lsupply school, on the other hand, counted as part of the active duty timel. For this reason, ROCS tended to sheer away from the golden wings. The Navy, of course, is primarily a sea-going or- ganization, and naturally enough, most of the grad- uating candidates drew orders to report to ships. From LST to BB and CV, all varieties of vessel pep- pered the assignment lists. Richard J. Herman even pulled down a submarine billet. lBut he had served on submarines as an enlisted man.l JL, ' .

Walsh, was to find himself amid some familiar company. He was ordered' to the USS Marquette lAK A 95l, the ship which Captain John B. Azer will command. Other men were not even sure whether or not they would serve on a ship of the S. Navy. John M. Swietlik and Billy Lee Reckert were directed to report to the Commander of the United Nations Blockading Force for some sort of staff duty. It was hard to epitomize the feelings of the ROC School's Class of '52. Nobody, of course, really wanted to leave for two years. But everybody real- ized that the iob was there to do. Generally, the new ensigns had adopted the one-day-at-a-time philosophy. Some, though, who planned to continue their civilian educations after their duty tours, care- fully scrutinized the new G.l. Bill, which guaranteed every one of them up to 36 months of continued schooling, and the obvious benefits of veteran ex- perience, training and new horizons under obli- gated service.
