A If M A Every American is aware today of the vital importance 4 2 ilk- Al of national defense. Much as we cherish the blessings of ,, ,I W '-. is peace, we know that these blessings, to be preserved, must ,f jf..-.A -1 be defended. g' g i' Americans are proud of the heroic traditions of the United - States Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guards, of their wx records of achievement on land and sea and in the air. They are 1 4, 'n 2 prouder still of the fact that these achievements are not symbols of A: l :- aggression or conquest, but of the defense of freedom. This country ., i has never worshiped military might for itself alone, or sought glory at II, L . the expense of other peoples. Only when the rights of Americans are l threatened do they make preparations for their defense. When such '. T defense is needed, Americans respond with tremendous might. 15. . The Army of the United States is in urgent need of young men to .L .:.. we defend their homes, families, and futures. It needs qualified men, especially Ai in the fields of mechanics, electricity, and radiology. There are numerous '-fl. opportunities, too, for young men who enlist in the Medical Department ..- A to become laboratory, dental, or x-ray technicians. The types of courses . offered to soldiers in Army Schools are counted by the score, and each student is allowed to choose practically any course that suits his fancy- A 1 from meteorology to pigeon raising. Some branches of the Army open ,: to young men are: the Engineering Corps, Quartermaster Corps, Coast - Armored Force, and many others too numerous to mention. Also, men, t not yet twenty-two, who show qualifications for leadership, may compete - for admission to an Officer Candidate School. 51 5 Warfare is carried on on sea as well as on land. The sea defenses --T may be separated into three divisions: the Navy, the Marines, and the i Coast Guards. The first branch mentioned, the United States Navy, is ranked as the finest in the world. The might of industrial America is laboring night and day to produce the most powerful Navy the world has ever seen. Battleships, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, torpedo XX .QA boats, submarines, and airplanes are being turned out at a terrific rate, and men are needed to man them. For enlisted men there are seven branches of Naval Service comprising forty-nine different ratings through which a seaman may advance according to his skill and experience. Young men desirous of serving in the Navy also stand a chance of being appointed to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis where they receive training equal to that offered by any college in the country and become upon graduation, Commissioned Officers in the United States Navy. In this war as in previous wars, the Navy has answered the call of Uncle Sam and is proudly carrying his banner around the world. Next, come the Coast Guards. They clear the seaways of the world. They patrol the sea lanes for submarines, convoy troop and merchant ships, and in addition, supply crews for transports. They guard the safety of each of the nation's seaports, as well as all vital navigable waters along the coast and far inland. The branches of the Coast Guards are ll A and Field Artillery Corps, Infantry, Signal Corps, Cavalry, Air Force, fl' in if Twenty- I wo
