1t was announced that the Navy
Department will issue from time to
time list of vessels which are suit
able for use as naval auxiliaries in
time of war, on which the appoint
ment of officers and the enlistment of
men is authorized.
The Naval Reserve Examining
Board, consisting of Lieut.. Comdr.
w. F. Lockhart, Lieut.. g. g. H. D.
Taliaferro and Ensign j. F. Replogle,
is conducting examinations of en-
listed personnel recommended for the
next higher rating. These examina-
tions involve considerable detail work,
as there are so many different
branches of service that the men
cannot be examined in groups, but
they must be taken individually.
1t was announced that rela-
lively small number of advancements
in rating have been made during the
past two years, due primarily to the
failure of the enlisted personnel to
complete the Bureau Of Navigation
training courses. This, it was ex-
planned, has not been entirely due
to the men, for the courses have not
in all cases been available to them.
Courses in practically every rating
now have been supplied and distrib-
uted and a number of men prac-
tically completed the work assigned
them. In addition to this require
ment a man must comply with the
following before he is eligible for ad-
vancement: Must have served one
year in present grade, two years in
the case Of chief petty officers; must
have performed at least IA days
active or training duty in present
pay grade; must have performed a
minimum Of SO drills or periods of
equivalent duty or instruction during
the year Immediately preceding. In
the case Of chief petty officers it Is
36 drills each year for the preceding
two years. They must pass the re-
quired professional examination for
enlisted men of the Navy Of similar
grade.
