Show Test for Army, Navy Training Courses WillBeGivenNov.9 The Army-Navy College Qualifying Quali-fying Test (A-12, V-12), which will be held throughout the nation on November 9, will provide means for tens of thousands of young men to become immediately available for training for responsible respon-sible assignments in the armed forces as technicians, specialists and officer candidates. The November 9 test will be open to those who have graduated from high school or are in their final term and who will be 17 but not 22 years of age on March 1, 1944. Many young men are now in oollege under the army and navy programs. Many of these were high school seniors last spring when they took the first test on April 2. Those who failed to qualify qual-ify on the April 2 test are also eligible for the test on November 9 provided they have not enlisted or been inducted in the armed services. Those between 17 and 20 years of age on March 1, 1944, who designate des-ignate navy preference and qualify qual-ify in the test may be selected for the navy college program. They serve on active duty, in uniform and under military discipline and receive the pay of the lowest enlisted en-listed grade. Seventeen-year-olds who designate desig-nate army preference and qualify in the test are offered military scholarships in the army specialized special-ized training reserve program. Those between 18 and 22 who qualify and designate army preference pref-erence are earmarked for special consideration for the ASTP after induction. Detailed information on the army specialized training program, pro-gram, the navy college program and the qualifying test on November Novem-ber 9 has been prepared by the army and navy and forwarded by the U. S. Office of Education to high school principals, who will provide prospective candidates with the booklet, "Qualifying Test for Civilians." |
