14 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE Wednesday, Moy 19, 1971 Wide Variety Of Careers Offered Enlistees By U.S. Army By PEACE STERLING AP Newsfeatures Writer NEW YORK (AP) Who in the world can you work for and be anything from a policeman to a musician in a band? Would you believe--the U.S. Army, which, according to Maj. A. W.

Borst who is in charge of recruiting for the New York area, now offers an enlistee well over 300 courses from which to choose. "We're really committed to the idea of an all-volunteer Army now," Borst explained. "And to get to a zero draft, we have to have these options." He said that after the Korean War the Army introduced an option allowing an enlisted man to go to the location of his choice --with the idea of travel and adventure in mind. At the start of the Vietnam war, however, this idea was changed and the Army began concentrating on the career and school options available to enlisted men. "Now we're advertising that an enlistee will receive a guaranteed place in the Army school he chooses," Borst said.

However, this choice is not left entirely to the enlistee. "A man first takes a battery of tests to determine what he's capable of doing," the major noted. "After the results are in, a recruiter then will tell the enlistee he's qualified in three or four courses and that he can choose among those options. After he makes that choice, he's programmed for his enlistment date, and a class spot is reserved for him by name." However, even with the new options, Army recruiting isn't an easy job. "We have to make sure recruiters know they can accomplish the impossible," Borst admitted.

"When you're talking about a recruiter you're talking about a salesman. To be really good he's got to be honest with his people at all times. If a recruiter gets a man through false premises, the word spreads quickly," he said, adding that if the Army finds a man has been promised something verbally, it will go to almost any lengths to see he gets it, even if it's not on paper. Surprisingly enough, Borst has found recruiters are hampered most by fathers of potential enlistees. "I think their fathers remember the Army from World War II," he said.

"Bst then we had a bigger job to do, and I suppose individuals were sacrificed more for the needs of the service." To make recruiting more palatable, Borst explained, the Army is calling recruiters counselors, or Army representatives. A recruiter must have an unb- lemisheu record with the Army," he said. "And it takes six months to a year of performing his duty before he becomes really proficient." One such recruiter is Sgt. Todd Langley, supervisor of recruiting for the Queens area. In the last few months, Langley said, there has been a little change in a lot of attitudes about the Army.

In his work, including recruiting at schools, he has found few men with hostile attitudes. "Each individual has to learn to overcome this hostility," he said. "If a guy wises up, why should I strike back. There are ways to make a joke of it. I never met any real hard core nuts, but I met a lot that could have been." In recruiting Langley said, "You've just got to get in and talk." The way he does this, he explained, is to develop centers of influence in a given area.

That means talking to school counselors, state employment people, and Selective Service Boards. "In many cases people are working, so you have to bend your time to fit theirs," he said. And what's the best kind of publicity. Without hesitation, (he recruiter answered, "Just like any other business--a satisfied customer." DANGEROUS TOY IRVING, Tex. (AP) A fund has been started for a 25-year-old Irving man, who went into a coma as the result of a January accident when the metal cable of a model airplane he was flying got wrapped around a power line.

Ken Caver's heart stopped while he was being rushed to the hospital, but it started again 10 minutes after he got there. He was later taken to Parkland hospital in Dallas and then to Veterans hospital. BUY U-S. SAVINGS BONDS ON YOUR PAYROLL SAVINGS PLAN SAT. OPEN DAILY 10-10; SUN.
