Veterans and
Druftees
By Mai. Thomos M. Mol

When q serviceman leaves the
AIMED forces, he should realize 1t
isn't just q question Of stepping
out Of his uniform. There are
many things he should do to
make the chariseover.
Some Of the moves he should
make are merely voluntary. but
several are required. Here's a
check list of things to make 1t
easier for you If you're just out
of uniform or will be getting out
in the future:
Have your discharge or sep
aration papers photostated and
notarized. At least three copies
should be made. Then put your
original papers in a safety de-
posit box or some other safe
place. BY getting copies of your
discharge, you'll find that apply
ing for your benefits will be
easier and quicker because in al
most all cases you have to attach
a copy of your papers to your
application.
Apply for unemployment If
you intend to seek your old job.
AS you undoubtedly know. the
Government generally assures
you that the job you left to go
into service is yours after you
get out. If you want to apply for
1t. Generally, about all you have
to do is apply within 80 days
after your release.
Take Care of Insurance.
Arrange to apply for new
insurance or to continue. resume
or convert your old Government
life insurance and to make pre-
MUM payments. Generally, Ko-
rean vets those men who've
had service since June 81, 1850
must apply for the Government
insurance within 120 days after
they get out or they lose any
chance of getting it.
File a claim for any disabil-
ity compensation you may be
eligible for if you haven't already
done so. Your service medical
records are readily available now
and it'll save you time in the
long run.
Decide what use, if any, you
want to make of the provisions
of the Korean GI bill of rights.
Under it you're eligible for edu-
cation and training, unemploy-
ment compensation. job assist
ance, CT loan rights and muster
ing-out pay. You must meet the
requirements to be eligible for
these benefits. You can find out
by having a talk with veterans
advisers of veterans organiza-
tions, the Red Cross or advisers
at the nearest Veterans Admin
istration Office.
See the Draft Board.
Look into the reserve pro-
grams of your service and find
out your obligations under them.
In general, if you've gone on ac-
tive duty since June 10, 1851,
you have an eight-year military
obligation. You're automatically
in the reserve when you get out
of uniform for the period of time
between eight years and your
active duty time. In other words,
If you've served two years of ac-
tive duty, you're under obliga-
tion for six years in the reserve.
You don't have to serve actively
in the reserve, but you're
assigned to it under law.
Register, if required, at your
local draft board. This is a must
because under law your draft
board must now at all times any
personal information which
would have a bearing on your
draft status. Actually, the idea is
to give you a selective service
classification so that you'll know
how you stand under present
draft laws.
-Familiarize yourself with all
headlines involved in vets bene-
fits. This is important because
if you let a deadline go by you
may find that you've missed
