TO HIDE DEFECTS
FOR NAVY SERVICE
Amusing Incidents Are En
countered by Recruiting
Officer Here Examina
tions Show Deficiencies
It's not ao eaay to get into the
United States navy aa It once was.
There wa a time when almost any
husky, hard boiled gent who could
awab a deck waa acceptable, and no
questions asked. That time, however,
na passed.
Today applicants must pass mental
as well as physical examinations
Their character and morality record
must be beyond reproach. Their back
ground Is carefully checked. Refer
ences must be given and thoroughly
Investigated.
With standard of enlistment An a
high plane, service In the navy has
become a goal whose attainment Is
ought by many young men. In their
agerness to get Into the navy youth
- ful applicants sometimes attempt to
cover up deficiencies which would
bar them from enlistment. General
ly amusing, these subterfuges seldom
escape the scrutiny of the recruiting
officers who make the Initial exam
inations. Barred By Wooden Leg
In his two and a half years as re
cruiting officer here, Ernest M. West
baa had many amusing experiences.
Like the time a young man with a
wooden leg applied for enlistment.
TJnltke many others, however, he did
not try to cover up his deficiency.
Be announced at the offset that he
had a wooden leg but declared that
should be no bar to enlistment as be
could get around quite readily. He
bad to be turned down.
On three different occasions youths
applla4 when they had obvious han
dicaps which they tried to conceal.
Each had a glass eye which was not
mentioned In the application from
wherein physical defects must be
noted. Mr. West kept mum until the
youths came to the part of the phys
ical examination where they had to
read a chart with their glass eyes.
The examination ended there.
Once a youth who had lost a hand
to an accident applied for enllitment.
He managed well enough In civil life
and thought he could do as well in
the navy. He also met with disap
pointment. SIIJ Up On Birthday
At another time two brothers tried
to enlist. One, however, was obvious
ly too young. The boya had rehearsed
a plausible story to conceal this de
ficiency. They had neglected, though,
to fix up one salient point and that
was the date of their births.
So when they filled out their vital
statistics, their birthdays were Just
one month apart in the same year.
Questioned on this biological phe
nomenon, the brothers readily con
fessed that they had cooked up the
story so that they might serve to
gether to the navy. They explained
that they were great pals and did
not want to be separated.
Tew of these boys actually mean
to cheat," Mr. West said. 'They are
o eager to serve in the navy that
they hope to get by and make up for
their little untruths by good service.
There's not much chance, however,
of getting by. Regulations are strict
and must be followed closely."
Don't Know Names
Another odd thing Mr. West noted
fe that not a few young men actually
do not know their real given names
or dates of birth. Sometimes, he has
found after much research, parents
will change a child's name after the
birth certificate has been made out
without taking steps to have the of
ficial record changed accordingly. In
other Instance, he said, a nickname
given the youth as a baby will stick
and he will not be aware that It is
not his right name. All these discrep
ancies must be ironed out to keep
the official record straight, Mr. West
related.
Recently Mr. West accepted for en
listment a youth who had had only
five birthdays. He was born on Feb
ruary 30, 1920.
