Eight-Week Training Course
Advances Naval Reservists
New Division Seeking Appointment
To Annapolis Is Assigned Drill Officer

more area were required TO come
here TO take their weekly drills, be-
cause the Baltimore battalion OF
the Naval Reserve was among the
first to be called into the service
and there was no organization with
which the candidates could drill.
This year many Of the candidates
are attending preparatory schools
in Annapolis. In order TO provide
them with drill attendance require
ments, the superintendent of the
Naval Academy is providing a
weekly drill schedule at Annapolis
Officers pointed out that the men
had not had much signal work, and
decided to start them in with
thorough course. They pointed out
that while ships have expert signal
men on the bridge. it is important
that officers also be able to read
signals, particularly tactical flag
hoist signals, in order to check the
enlisted signalmen.
Signaling Is Stressed.
Glasses were formed for the va
rlOuS xmas OF signal WOTK, lnCluQlnB
semaphore, flag hoists and Morse
code with blnker lights. The group
will rotate in all types Of signal
work. each taking classes in turn.
Later they will be formed into
gun crews, using equipment let
when the three divisions of the To-
cal battalion were called to active
duty. The men will spend the next
10 months III preparation for tEc
/ competitive examinations. Those
who pass will be given appoint
ments. and others will be sent to sea
as enlisted men, unless they are
still within the age limits for ad-
mission 10 the academy. In those
cases they might be given second
opportunity TO compete for appoint
ment.
officers are still being taken di-
rectly from civil life into the Naval
Reserve without attending classes
But for the most part these are men
whose civilian work has fitted them
for similar work in the Navy.

Fine Opportunity
For Reservists
Promotion Moy Be Rapid
For Those Qualified;
Engineers Needed

Expansion of naval activities Is
expected to provide opportunities for
men to get into the naval service
through the Reserve. and to provide
steady promotion for those who show
that they are qualified, at least
during the current emergency, ac-
cording to those familiar with Re
serve activities.
With ships coming out of the
construction yards almost constantly.
there must be supply Of officers to
direct their operations as well as
enlisted personnel to man them. and
about the only opportunity of speedy
expansion is through the medium
of the Reserve.
Ships now coming into commits
sion must be manned now, and
forced draft" courses are being
mapped out by the Navy for young
college men so that they may be

With a background of eight weeks
of intensive work at naval training
stations, men of the Naval Reserve
sent here to form the new inactive
service division are said to be much
further advanced than previous
classes preparing for appointment to
the Naval Academy, according to
the officers.
Organization of the division went
another step forward during the
week, when Ensign P. H. Bradley, on
active duty at the Bureau of Navi-
cation, was assigned assistant drill
officer. He will undertake this night
duty in addition to his regular duties
in the Bureau of Navigation.
The eight weeks course at the
training stations has given the men
basic work in naval procedure and
practices for enlisted men, and the
course here will concentrate largely
on advanced training.
Form Special Group.
Men forming the new division here
are those from Naval Reserve ranks
who have applied for competitive
examinations for appointment to the
Naval Academy. Being in a special
group, they have been placed on in
active status while they prepare for
the examinations. Many have en-
rolled in preparatory schools, but
they may pursue their studies at
home. Officials pointed out that
many this year will study at home
because they do not believe the
| competition will be as keen as usual
There are not as many applicants
for the tests this year. and there is
likelihood that every man who gets
high enough grade in the competi-
tive tests will receive an appoint
ment. Under the law. ReservistS are
allowed 100 appointments to the
academy. and in addition they have
the right to fill all vacancies not
taken by appointments from the
Reserve ranks.
