Interested women must be able to spend two weeks a year away from home and be able to work one Saturday and one Sunday for eight hours each day once each month at a local reserve office. Women who have a sec- retarial background, exper- ience in business or finance, bookkeeping or as a stock clerk or bank teller, may qualify to be enlisted at a rank ranging from Seaman to First Class Petty Officer depending on ex- perience. Each will receive 10 days in- doctrination at Yorktown, Va., sometime during the first six months in the program. For working eight hours Saturday and eight hours Sunday, one weekend each month, one can receive about $50. If $180 for the two weeks a year is added to your monthly pay, you end up with about $780 per year. It is a fact, that under the law an employer must give time off to take part in reserve pro- grams. But if a woman finds she really has not the time to par- ticipate in this program after signing up, there is an easy answer. One may at any time transfer to the Active Status Pool (no working on weekends or two weeks of training) until such a time as she feels she can return to work. ;Women interested in earning some extra money and getting away once in awhile, or proving that she is more than just a housewife, can call AMC Mike Sowden, the local Wilkes-Barre recruiter, at 825-6811, EXT. 355.
