FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE U. S. STATES NAVY ... OF GABLES
I can offer no finer suggestion to the youth of Coral Gables than service in the United States Navy. Not only does it afford splendid training, but it enables a young man actively to serve his country. Joe Whitley, Mayor
TRAINING that is worth $1500.00
READ HOW YOU TOO CAN BECOME AN EXPERT IN AVIATION, RADIO OR ENGINEERING AND DRAW GOOD PAY WHILE YOU LEARN! IF YOU WANT to get ahead fast, to serve your country, to build yourself a good-paying future... here's the opportunity you've been waiting for. The U. S. Navy may train you to become an expert in any one of nearly 50 skilled fields. Each month, over 5000 new men will be sent to a Navy Service School, where you can learn to be a Diesel engine operator, machinist, aviation mechanic, aerial photographer, radio operator, or whatever specialized work you're best fitted for. This first year's training which you get is worth at least $1500. The Navy foots the entire bill. You earn while you learn. In fact, it is possible for an enlisted man to earn up to $126 per month—with keep. You'll have plenty of opportunity for advancement in position and pay—and you'll have fun while you learn! You'll come out of the Navy fully prepared to take on a good job in private industry. And if you want to stay in the Service, you can go right to the top... and retire at the end of 20 years or 30 years with a liberal monthly income. You can choose now between the regulars or the reserves. Both offer equal opportunities for advancement.
