On Obligation

Every American between h c
ages Of II and IL and % years
has slx-year minimum military
service obligation and should plan
to fulfill j: in the way of greatest
interest to him. Navy recrlitinc
petty officer told the Farmville
Lions Club Friday.
The obligation may be discharged
in number Of ways and today's
young men should acquaint them
selves with these. Gillian Dunn.
Petty Officer First-Class. of Lynch
burg. said
The first and important decision
is for those with such an obligation
70 choose the type Of service which
interests them, he said Selecting

of service should follow
Tells Various Methods
Among the several programs.
Dunn said. are two and three-year
active duty tours. after which those
electing such service may return to
home communities for reserve SER
vice to run out their obligation
Such reserve service requires week
ly drills and summer camp or 80
day active duty tours annually.
Another program available is a
siX-month active duty tour and then
a return home for six and one-half
years of reserve unit service.
The National Guard offers num-
Der of possibilities, Dunn sa d.
Guardsmen may serve in home
communities from II to 10 and one
half years of age to age % without
any active service after which they
have no more obligation.
Decision Important
Youths who enlist in the Guard
are also eligible for the six months
active duty tours and the shortened
remaining period of unit reserve
service at home
The important decision for the
young man is to choose his program
and take steps toward accomplish
ing it." Dunn said.
He urged young men to complete
high school at least. and pointed
out that Reserve programs permit
a youth to delay the active duty
part of his service until after high
school graduation if he chooses
There is additional provision for
men who enter college before SER
vice to complete that education and
then fulfil military obligations.
Every man is needed in the ser
vice. Dunn said Trained men must
be had for defense of the nation
and men must be taught to use
modern weapons and instruments
for their own and the nations pro-
lection.
Peace is more secure by reason
of a Well-trained reserve prepared
to meet an emergency if the need
comes. he said Regular service re-
cruiting personnel and local reserve
people arc prepared to explain the
various possibilities open to young
man today. Dunn concluded.
