Show A six-months' active duty training train-ing tour will be in the offing for young Utah men enlisting in the National Guard after April 1. This was the announcement today to-day by Major General Maxwell E. Rich, Utah adjutant general, following fol-lowing a statement by the National Guard Bureau in the Pentagon. Non-prior service enlistees joining join-ing after April 1 will be required to take the half-year training course, General Rich said. Persons already in the National Guard those- who enroll before April 1 will not be affected by the impending regulation. Another new policy announced at the same time allows returning draftees 60 days in which to affiliate affil-iate with a National Guard unit. After that time, they will automatically auto-matically be assigned to an Army Reserve unit for completion of their military obligation. Limited vacancies exist in some Utah National Guard units at thfc time. Interested persons should contact Guard employees at home town armories. |
