Reserves Get Commissions 7 Months After Graduation

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Plans for the Enlisted Signal Corps Reservists assigned to the electronics training group have been revised and changed, Elliot Perkins '23, director of the War Service Information Bureau, announced yesterday. The new revision which affects mostly processing and commissioning procedures was announced in an order from the Office of the Chief Signal Officer in Washington. A large number of Harvard students are among those affected by the order.

The new requirements will still allow reservists to continue in school on inactive status until graduation provided they meet scholastic standards. Two weeks after graduation each reservist will be ordered to active duty reporting to the reception center nearest his home for processing. Upon completion he will be sent to the Central Signal Corps Replacement Center, Camp Crowder, Missouri, for at least three months' further training.

When this period of training has been completed, Reservists will go to the Signal Corps Officer Candidate School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Following graduation from this four months' course, they will be commissioned as second lieutenants and assigned to duty.
