Guard have been informed by the
headquarters Of the Coast Guard
that recommendations for imme.
date advancement on enlistment
to the ratings of chief boatswain
mate, chief radioman, and chief
motor machinist mate, with acting
appointment, will receive prompt
consideration for limited time in
the cases of qualified men. Also
that recommendation for imme-
date advancement to the men
toned ratings with permanent ap'
pointment in the cases OF men who
have previously held such appoint
ments will receive favorable con-
sideration.
The shortage in the ratings men.
toned is said to be acute at this
time, and similar recommendations
from other units Of the Coast
Guard are very much desired.
The advancement of fifty-one
men to chief petty officer ratings
has been made possible by the eligi.
BILE list during the past few months.
This does not include advance
ments which were made Immediately
upon receipt of recommendation or
advancements to I'll vacancies. 1t
is believed that there are many
men in the Coast Guard service
who are qualified for and deserving
Of ratings below that Of chief petty
officer, but for whom advancement
is denied because of the fact that
no vacancies exist in the higher
ratings.

the printing of the Coast Guard
register, and it is probable that 1t
win not be available for distribution
until the first part Of April.
