* ARMY NEEDS FLYING CADETS
- QUALIFICATIONS SET FORTH
On his recent visit to Nome
from Anchorage Major E. M. Alt
father, medical officer at Fort
Richardson, submitted the fol
lowing article for publication in
the “Nome Nugget:”
The Army needs many more
Aviation Cadets. I understand
that the Nugget has kept the
young men of Nome and vicin
ity aequain ed with this need and
with the opportunities now exist
*■ ing in the Aviation Cadet Corps
for qualified male citizens be
tween the ages of 20 and 26 in
clusive. The following informa
tion regarding Aviation Cadets is
here recalled for those who have
not read it before and I wish to
mention some recent changes as
regards the mental examination.
The requirements for appoint
ment as Aviation Cadet: Candi
date must, be unmarried male
citizen of the United States be
tween the ages of 20 and 26 In
clusive. They must be of excel
lent character and in good phys
ical condi.ion. They must have
satisfactoriy completed half the
credits required for graduation
Et a recognized college or uni
ver-ity. or they must pass an ex
amination covering such work.
Formerly a candidate w’.io did
r.ot have two years of college
credits would have, to take the
entire examination. Recently this
has been changed and exemp
tions are granted in individual
subjects where the applicant con
show satisfactory evidence that
he has the required number of
college credits in the subject. Al
so with the exception of mathe
matics and English grammer and
*’ composition, the subjects are op
tional.
Appl cation f-, appointment as
Aviation Cadet Is made on WD
AOO Form No. 60. These may be
secured from the President of the
Aviation Cadet Board. Alaska
A r Base Ft. Richardson, Alaska.
App icant should fill cut and sign
three of these forms. He should
secure a copy of his birth certi
ficate, a transcript of his college
or high school record, and write
a statement ; f his aeronautical
•xperienee, if any. All these pa
pers should be sent to the Com
manding General, Ninth Corps
Area, Presidio of San Francisco,
California. When the Command
ing General has approved the
application and authorized the
exam nation, these papers will be
sint to the Cadet Board at either
Ladd Field, or, more probably,
Fort Richardson. The applicant is
notified by the Board when to ap
pear for the examination, which
is both physical and mental. The
candidate is required to bear all
expenses incident to his appear
ing before the Beard. Duo to the
great distance between Anchor
ace and Nome, the Board will
make an effort to fly to Nme
to examine candidates whose ex
amination has been authorized.
That this will be done cannot, at
this time be promised.
Training of successful candi
dates includes approximately
7U months of pilot training be
f::re graduation. This training is
not given in A aska. During this
peri d the cadet receives $75 a
month pay plus his food, cloth
ing, s' riter and medical atten
tion. His premium on a $10,000
lit in-urance policy is paid dur
ing this period by .the Gorven
