vanced instruction which it was not
possible to give prior candidates, due
to the time limitations. Some of
these men already have won the
right to wear the distinctive in
sigma of apprentice petty officers.
it was said, and the officers here
reported themselves as being en-
thusiastic over the prospect Of soon
receiving the men for continuation
of their training here.
1t was said that 1t is likely there
will be sufficient men sent here to
permit of the formation of two
training divisions.
Rejected Physically.
Some of those from the local outfit
who passed high enough in the men
tai examinations to receive an ap-
pointment have since been rejected
by the academy medical authorities
for alleged physical defects. These
will be ordered to active duty in
their enlisted ratings, and it was
asserted that even though a man
was not physically fit for an ap-
pointment as midshipman il does
not necessarily follow that he is not
eligible physically for sea duty as
an enlisted man.
Sea Duty Planned.
Plans are being formulated by
the Navy Department, it was said,
to send to sea number of Naval
Reserve officers who we're appoint
ed for specialist duty. They are
young men, for the most part. who
have had no sea training and who
know little about the operations of
the naval service, further than what
they have received from indoctrina-
ton correspondence courses since
they have been called to active duty.
Most of them, 1t was said, have no
qualifications for sea duty aboard
combatant ships, or even ships of
the train. which includes auxili-
aries. such as troop ships, tankers,
supply boats and the like. They are
not to be sent to sea to get any
training for this duty but rather to
learn more about the Navy at sea to
permit them to better handle the
short billetS for which they were
expressly commissioned.
1t. o. J. Gullickson. U. S. Navy,
has been detailed as director of
the local Naval Reserve activities,
under the commandant of the
Washington Navy Yard. He was
formerly assistant to Comdr. A. B.
McCrary. U. s. N, who has been
ordered to other duty. The staff
of the local Reserve headquarters
has been materially increased dur
ing the past few months, despite the
fact that the Organized Reserve
divisions have been ordered to sea.
