The Army Speciali: ps is near or over the 306,000 mark (not quite all of these are for commissioned jobs) be draftees who have been recommended, after induction, for officer training schools. They can be specialists or technicians, with designated commissions, as- signed to such schools. In the first instance, any man who is physically fit. mentally capable, and can prove that he’s not neglecting his family, can go through 13 weeks of training and get assigned to an officers’ train- in school in the Army. In the second instance, he may have to wait his turn, depending upon service needs. It may be long before he’s called; his training may be rigorous. On the other hand, he may be shoved throug’) quickly. There is no trick about any of it. In the Army, Navy, Marine Ccrps or Coast Guard, combat service demands a_ preliminary weedout period.
