TINE Bureau OF Navigation of the
O. Navy Department has extend
ed from one year to two years
Il the period allowed for those
entering the Naval Reserve as
ensigns to qualify for transfer to the
general service list.
The bureau letter says that from
time to time applications are received
from persons desiring appointment in
the Naval Reserve as ensign in the
volunteer special service under agree
ment to qualify for transfer to gen.
eral service within one year. The let
ter says that in view of the fact that
1t now appears that one year is m
sufficient time for such candidates to
complete the required correspondence
courses and qualify for general serv-
ice, the bureau has decided to extend
the period allowed in which to quail
ify to two years and to clarity It's
policy in regard to such appoint
ments.
The bureau feels, the announce
ment continues. that the graduates
Of the Naval r. o. T. c. units and
graduates of the Naval Academy who
resign from the Navy, together with
such enlisted men as may qualify for
appointment as ensign, provide an
adequate source of supply to fill the
authorized quotas of volunteer deck
officers for general service and feet
officers. There, as a general rule, il
Is not desired to fill vacancies in
volunteer deck for general service
quotas from other than these sources
However, the announcement says
that exceptions to this rule will be
considered in certain instances when
the appointment of volunteer deck
officer for special service or engineer
ing volunteer for special service for
further qualification for general serv-
ice in either of these branches would
o.. be of benefit to both the local organ
ization and the Reserve in general
An example of this would be local.
ity where the officer supply is exceed
ingly limited and where there is prac-
tically no prospect of either ex-offi-
GERS or r. o. T. C. graduates being
available to fill the quota; where none
of the enlisted force is available or
able to qualify for commission; and
where certain young men of superior
education may be available, but lack
ing in technical education and naval
experience.
In such cases q candidate upon
being commissioned ensign in the spe-
cial service would become eligible for
the bureaus correspondence courses
would be in position to attend drills
and perform training duty with pay
If and when funds are available, OF
otherwise without pay.
The candidates of districts are
authorized to recommend such candi-
dates as fulfill these requirements
who are under % years of age and
have a superior education, sufficient
to form a good working basis for the
technical subjects of the examination
Preferably they should be college
graduates and should have a COM
nunity standing and moral standards
which the Navy expects of its COM
missioned officers.
