J FORCE RECRUITS
RESPONSE FROM FORMER SERVICEMEN AUCKLAND, Feb. 20. A gratifying proportion of former servicemen who are enlisting for J Force is the feature of the Auckland area’s recruiting activities. The recruits include a large number of men who served in the Army or Air Force in the recent war.
Army officers' consider these ‘men’s experience wil be an asset and, especially, a steadying influence. Many are likely to be considered as non-commissioned officers at an early date.
In the first 10 days of the recruiting campaign 242 applications have been .received at the Auckland area office .including 217 single men of ages ranging from 20 to 24. They are from all walks of life, including a large number of Maoris. Applications are still being received as- fast as the staff can handle them.
