M. L. McCreary, chief of Sixth Army Recruiting, who declared that the new policy of re - enlisting combat wounded men would be continued in the new year. Under the plan, which was instituted some months ago, hundreds of Army jobs falling into 103 different categories, were thrown open for enlistment to partially disabled veterans of World War II, who were wounded in combat. Proponents of the plan be- lieved that many of these men could perform a satisfactory job and would welcome the opportunity of returning to uniform and a regular salary instead of remaining dependent upon their government pension. The response by disabled veterans has fully substantiated this belief, said Col. McCreary. Not only have they welcomed the opportunity of earning their own way, ut they are proving to be good soldiers. Thats why the Army is continuing the program. While government pensions are suspended during the period of the enlistment, applications for may be made immediately the disabled veteran Col. McCreary is discharged, said. Of the 103 MOS covered by the plan only 23 require previous Although qualified experience. experience is desirable in the other 80 MOS it is not essential since the, applicant who meets the revised physical requirements is given necessary training to make him proficient in the job to which he is assigned.
