get in the thick of things, the Seabees offer ACTION.
They're a tough, hard-hitting organization of spe
cialists who build bases and help hold them, repair
battle-damaged ships and other Navy equipment,
back up the combat line with tools and guns.
Seabees arc specialists, and get full credit for their
knowledge. In addition to their base pay, ranging
from $50 to $126 a month, they get all living and
clothing expenses, plus family allowance, plus 20%
of base pay for overseas service.
Here’s adventure, action, satisfying war service for
red-blooded Americans between 17 and 50 with an
unusual appeal to mature men over 38 with a trade.
Ask for details of the new voluntary induction
plan of enlistment for men between 18 and 38.
GREYHOUND
provides vital transportation for the
Seabees—gets them to and from mainland jobs and embarkation points, carries
them on leave, and serves their training centers. For example, when Camp Parks,
new Seabee center near Livermore,California, was opened,Greyhound immediately
was called upon to provide the service it needed. This is only one of hundreds of
military camps served exclusively or partially by Greyhound.This naturally diverts
many buses from civilian service, and makes your patriotic cooper
ation more vital. So again we say: Please don’t travel unless it is
absolutely necessary.
