One way is to enlist in either the
Regular Army or Air Force and
choose your school at the Basic
Training Center. The other way is
through the Delaware National
Guard. When a man enlists in the
National Guard he may go to any
school in the Armed Forces for
which he is qualified. While he is
attending that school all his ex-
penses are paid and he draws
minimum of $500 per month to
spend as he sees fit. He receives
these payments throughout the en-
tire course. These trade schools are
the finest in the world and are open
to any man who can qualify for
either the Regular Army or the
Delaware National Guard The
length of time spent at the school
depends upon the individual course
given at each school. The more
technical and difficult the job, the
longer and harder the school. At
