Naval Training Corps Frosh Get Expense-Paid Summer Cruise
Some guys get all the lucky breaks.
This year 48 NROTC freshmen will attend the University's two-semester session, then take off on an expensepaid, 8-week cruise during the summer.
These men, who are attending the University under the Holloway bill, are midshipmen in the United States Naval Reserve, part of the 207 men in the Navy's five units here.
The largest single group is represented by 114 contract students. This group differs from the Holloway unit in that active sea duty is optional upon graduation and receipt of commissions. Regulars leaving the University are slated for two years of active sea duty.
Contract students are under the G.I. bill of rights, and advanced groups receive an additional $20 a month for subsistence.
Former naval aviators, ranging in rank from ensign to lieutenant-commander, compose a special group of 22 naval reserve officers who have transferred to the regular navy. They will complete five school terms before returning to active duty.
Aviation students in the V-5 program have a shorter stay at the University. These 24 men complete only two years here before being transferred to naval air stations as aviation cadets on active duty.
Regulars under the Holloway bill are spread through the University's various schools, where they remain for four years before being graduated and commissioned with the rank of ensign in the regular navy. While in school they are required to make two summer cruises of eight weeks' duration. The third summer is spent at a naval air station.
Engineers, who receive their degrees at the close of five years of University work, are commissioned upon completion of the fifth year. They are deferred from active duty and are placed on a leave status for one year without navy pay.
Contract students are commissioned with the rank of ensign in the naval reserve upon graduation. Men under this plan are released on inactive duty status unless they request active duty. One summer cruise between the junior and senior years is scheduled. While at sea they are paid a regular seaman's wage of $75 a month.
A commission in the United States Marine Corps is also open to those who substitute marine corps subjects for naval science courses during the last three semesters of study. This program is under the direction of Capt. R. W. Anderson. Capt. J. V. Peterson is commanding officer of the entire unit at the University.
Training and commissions in the supply corps are also available to
