Plans are being made by the officers
and men of the United States Naval
Reserve of the District of Columbia
for participating in the target prac-
tice during their annual cruises this
Summer aboard the L. s. destroyer
Allen, their training ship. This is the
first year since the World War that
the reserviSts have been authorized
TO have big gun practice during their
cruises and they are enthusiastic over
the prospects, and are training the per-
sonneI of their gun crews with hope
of making some outstanding marks.
1t was announced that the division
commanders have each selected their
gun crews, and the officers who will
I'LL the ship control, fire control and
battery command stations have been
Tentatively selected from those whom
1t Is certain will be able to make the
cruises. Already a good part of the
time each drill night is given over to
the drill at the large gun at the arm
ory, and subsequently the drills will
be shifted to the destroyer Allen,
berthed at the washington Navy Yard,
so that the men will be we'll trained in
the very stations they will occupy dur
ing the actual firing at sea-
Beginning next month every drill
night will be spent aboard the destroy
er Allen by the officers and men OF the
organization it was announced by
Lieut.. Harry J. Nichols, executive off,
Ger of the battalion. With drills on
the ship it is believed that the men
will be able to start the training work
just as soon as they report aboard the
vessel for active duty for training this
Summer.
