Young Men of 17
As of June I
~
May again join the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve
NLISTMENT in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve E is once more open to qualified young Americans . . . who want to win their wings on the “greatest team in the world”—an AAF air combat crew.
In April, thanks to the air-mindedness of America’s youth, the AAF’s personnel program was well ahead of schedule. More than enough men were in training, and in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve, to meet scheduled quotas for combat crews. At the same time, the need for men in other branches of the army was urgent. Therefore, opportunities to join the AAF— including
the 17-year-old Enlisted Reserve—were suspended.
As the Commanding General pointed out, the suspension of enlistments in the Reserve was intended only asa temporary measure. Accordingly, effective June 1, enlistments have again been opened in the 17-year-old Air Corps Enlisted Reserve in order to insure a sufficient number of
qualified individuals for training this fall.
The AAF is a Team
Today, the AAF is the largest, most powerful air force in the world. Fighting side by side with the planes of &tr Navy and our Allies, it has won control of the air in every theatre—and has carried the war to the military and industrial hearts of Germany and Japan. It is daring the enemy to “come up and fight.” Yet its losses have been less than anyone had anticipated or even dared to hope.
That all this has been accomplished is due, in large measure, to the fact that the AAF air
*
combat crew is more than just planes and men. The combat crew is a team . . . the greatest fighting team the world has ever seen . .". with Gunners, Bombardiers, Navigators and Pilots flying and fighting together, to win.
And any young man who wants AAF wings should keep this ideal of teamwork uppermost in his mind. It is the key to AAF successes in
battle. It will be the key to his own success in ‘the AAF.
If you want to fly with the AAF; you may apply at any AAF Examining Board for enrollment in the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve. Upon passing the preliminary qualifying physical and mental tests, you will become a member of the U. S. Army Air Forces—on inactive duty. This means that you will not be called for training until you have reached your 18th birthday. If
you are at work you may remain on the job until
you are 18. If you are in high school, you may
+ elect to finish the semester you are in when you
become 18. If you are a high school graduate, not over 17 years and 9 months, you may elect to take advantage of the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program, which provides free college
training for men approaching military age.
When called, you will first be given. “basic” training. During this period, you will take “aptitude” tests to determine whether you will be classified for training as Gunner, Bombardier, Navigator or Pilot.
Your Place on the AAF Team
If you have an outstandingly high aptitude rating
for a particular position, you may be given an opportunity to compete for the classification that you prefer. But it is important to remember that all jobs on the AAF team are vitally important « « . that air combat crews not only are chosen from the very cream of the nation’s young men, but that each seat in every plane must be filled by the man dest qualified to fill it.
Gunners go into actual combat as non-commis-sioned officers. In additiop to being the world’s best aerial marksmen, gunners may qualify as trained technicians—in radio, armament or airplane mechanics. Pilots, Navigators, and Bom. bardiers are graduated from training as 2nd Lieu. tenants or Flight Officers.
Your job, and your rank, in the AAF will depend ‘upon your own demonstrated abilities. For full information as to qualifying for the Air
Corps Enlisted Reserve, see your nearest AAF -
Examining Board or local Army Recruiting
Station. :
For Pre-Aviation Training
Whether or not you have yet reached 17, you can begin now to prepare yourself to qualify for the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve. See your local Civil Air Patrol officers about C.A.P. Cadet Training « « . also see your High School principal or adviser about recommended courses in the Air Service Division of the High School Victory Corps. Both offer excellent pre-aviation training. . . and help point the way to AAF wings.
