INSTRUCTIONS

The below-named person has made application for enlistment in the
Armed Service and has given your name as a reference. The
information you provide will be appreciated since it will assist in
determining whether or not the applicant meets the eligibility
standards to become a member of the Armed Forces of the United
States.
Service standards require that applicants be mature, intelligent, and
possess high moral qualifications. Those applicants who are selected
will have an opportunity to receive schooling and training in technical
fields to improve and advance their knowledge and skills in subjects
essential to national defense. Additionally, college opportunities will be
available.

Enlistees who cannot adjust satisfactorily to military life must be
discharged, causing emotional distress to the individual, as well as
loss to the taxpayers. Therefore, by giving your frank opinion of the
applicant, you can render a genuine service to the applicant as well
as to the United States.
Your statements will be held in strict confidence, and you will not be
considered personally responsible in any way for the applicant's
conduct if enlisted or not enlisted.
Your answers to the questions listed on the back of this form are of
particular interest in reaching a conclusion concerning the
qualifications of the applicant. Any information you can provide will be
appreciated.
