in their National Guard activities.
There are many opportunities
for veterans. There has been re-
cent reorganization of the lower
Delaware National Guard and there
are many openings for veterans
who desire to put their prior
training TO good advantage. Nat
ional Guardsmen receive pay for
all drill assemblies on the basis of
one days pay for each drill based
on the rates paid for their pay
grade while a number of the Regu-
lar Forces.
One important factor that should
be given serious consideration by
young men who are joining for the
first time as well as for veterans
National Guard has retirement
benefits. Twenty or thirty years in
the National Guard builds up re-
tirement benefits that would cost
many thousand dollars to purchase
in civilian life. Veterans who have
served in the active military SER
vice already have big start to-
ward retirement benefits as they
will receive 21a9o of their base pay
for the highest grade reached be-
fore retirement. Couple this with
credits for National Guard service
and this would make a sizeable in

age of so.
