Abstract :
Among the most urgent needs of new officer personnel in the United States Navy is for professional technicians in engineering fields, the Director of Naval Officer Procurement, Chicago, has announced. Perhaps first in the list are graduate electrical engineers, those mainly between 21 and 50 years who have followed electrical engineering since their graduation, and who have a knowledge of ultra-high frequencies, electronics and television (TV). Those more familiar with power engineering likewise may find a place in the Navy which is interested in these men in ages up to 50 years. Electrical engineers are needed especially in the Navy´s fields of radio and detection devices. Men with radio or communication engineering degrees may qualify for officers commissions as well. Waivers for minor physical defects often are obtainable.
