The initial processing machinery began rolling this past week as thousands of young men reported to induction stations for pre-induction examinations. First call will affect about the eligible draft cohort.
The Southwestern Recruiting District covering Texas and New Mexico reports no curtailment in voluntary enlistment. Men without pre induction notices are urged to enlist as regulars. Enlistees may choose three to six year terms in Army or four to six in Air Force with options for combat arms and specialized training. Retirement benefits remain available.
Air Force headquarters indicates a step up in pilot training using civilian flight schools for the basic phases. Standby bases and WWII civilian contract flying schools will be surveyed to locate training bases. An expansion of the Officer Candidate School at Lackland AFB and a doubled OCS at Ft. Riley are planned with announcements due soon.
