Cruising Season Begins
For Naval Reservists
Officers Concerned Over Stagnation in Pro-.
motions From Lieutenant to Lieutenant
Commander

~RUIs1NG Of Naval Reservists
Of the local battalion on their
training launch was inaugur-
ated for the current season
last week when the little vessel went
down the Potomac as far as Colonial
Beach, Va, With a large group of
the First Fleet Division aboard The
boat was commanded by Lieut. Croft
Jennings, who is also division COM
mander. Limited as it is, the vessel
left many OF the local seamen on
the dock, men who had come down
in the hope that someone who had
been assigned to take the trip might
have been forced by circumstances
to remain away.
During the trip, the enlisted per-
sonnet were given instruction in sea-
manship, and the methods of handling
power boats, as well as instruction
in operation in pilot waters, including
an explanation of the buoy system
in the area.
Under the present ALLEGATION method,
the vessel is assigned to one divi-
sion each week end, and once a
month, the recruit class Is given
instruction aboard her.
Completing a most successful train
ing cruise, three officers of the
local battalion reported back here
last week after voyage to London
to witness the coronation. They
served for a month aboard the Battle
ship New York. They were Lieuts.
J. F. Fewell, L. j. CardweN and f.
I. Snyder, all members of the staff
of the battalion commander. After
the festivities, they were given several
days leave and spent the time in
Paris
Many Reserve officers, particularly
those in the grades of lieutenant. are
concerned over the stagnation in pro-
motion above that rank. It was point
ed out there are officers in the Re-
serve who have been in the rank Of
lieutenant for more than II years.
Promotions in the commissioned
grades before that rank are fairly
active, but when it is reached there
appears to be little opportunity for
promotion, which is causing some dis
satisfaction, and this among officers
who by their long service would be
OF great value to the Navy in time
OF war. However, they feel their ex-
perience and service to the Reserve
should warrant their promotion to the
next higher rank within a reasonable
time.
Many who are affected by this
condition are in the Volunteer Re-
serve, who take active part in the
drills of the Fleet Reserve but with
out remuneration. However, it was
said these officers are on the same
promotion list with those of the feet.
Many of the officers have commands
which call for much higher rank
than they have. The Washington bat
talon is clear indication of this.
| The usual rank for a commander of
