New Expanded
OCS Program
Announced

An expanded officer candi-
date school program for the
Delaware National Guard Aca-
DENY was announced this week
by Maj. Gen. Joseph ]. Scan
nell, Delaware Adjutant Cen
eral.
The OCS program is the
principal source of officers for
Guard units. Open to warrant
officers and enlisted men of
the Delaware Guard, 1t is con-
Quoted In three phases--a two
week summer training session,
nine weekend sessions during
the winter months, and another
rwo-week summer session the
following summer.
To meet the increased need
for junior officers, Scanned an
nonced several changes in ell
igibility rules.
AS In the past, Guardsmen
with six months active duty and
six months drill service with
a unit--a minimum of one year
total service may attend the
course. Thus, men without pre-
vious service who enlist before
June 80 will be able to enter
next years class.
Men with a college degree,
however, may now enroll In
the National Guard OCS imme-
diately after completing six
months of active duty training.
Members of the Army Re-
serve or Marine Corps Re-
serve may enlist In the Guard
and attend OCS Immediately,
If they have previously COM
pleted at least six months of
active duty and six months
drill service in the Army or
Marine Reserve.
AS an added incentive, and
to ease the financial burden
on married men, Scannell an
nounced that all men selected
for OCS will be promoted to
pay grade E-5 Sergeant or
Specialist-5) before the begin
ming of the course.
Maj. Michael F. Riley is
comnandant of the Delaware
National Guard Academy, which
conducts the OCS program.
Since 1t was started In 1856,
close to $50 students have at
tended the Academy, of whom
20 have won commissions as
second neutenants in the Ma
tional Guard. Over 20 per cent
of the Guards officers are now
graduates of the Academy. vtI
