New National Guard Recruiting Program Details
The Army Navy and Air Force Journal outlines a revised National Guard recruiting plan effective until January 1 1958. It covers age groups 17 to 18 1/2 with 11 weeks active duty training and Ready Reserve service, and after 1 January 1958 six months of active duty for all new enlistees with three years in Ready Reserve and 4 1/2 in Standby Reserve. Deferred cases include 26 and over with technical MOS, Alaska Scouts, and high school students may defer for up to one year. Recruiting levels are to remain high and prior service personnel face a 60 day wait before assignment to Reserve units.
