NAVY NOW OFFERS FINER CAREER OPPORTUNITIES The U.S. Navy now offers more career opportunities than ever before in its history. These opportunities have been designed to encourage' reenlistments among men completing first enlistments. At present, and for some time past, only one of every ten men have reenlisted at the end of their first cruise. Yet, out of every ten completing their second or subsequent enlistment, nine reenlist. The reasons for these contradicting figures are simple: (1) most young men do not fully realize the benefits available for a Navy career and (2) they seem to have inflated ideas about salaries and opportunities in civilian employment.
