Navy Discharges Cut By Overseas Credit Revision
The Navy plans to reduce discharge scores by applying overseas credit for sea duty, lowering enlisted and officer scores and speeding releases. Navy discharge scales drop to 44 for enlisted, 49 for officers, with Waves 29 and Wave officers 94, based on age, service since Sept 1, 1938, and dependency. Forrestal noted original plans omitted overseas credit due to missing records, but now aims to release more men as conditions permit. President Truman urged continued Selective Service with a two year induction term, while many lawmakers favored expanding volunteer recruitment and lifting Army enlistment limits.
