The many friends of Joseph Ralph Sills, U.S.N., will be pleased to learn of his splendid success in the U.S. Navy, being selected for Machinist Mates School, from a large number of recruits.
Joseph Ralph Sills, son of Mrs. Daisy Sills Yates, Concord, N.C., was born on the 21st of July 1906, at Gaffney, S.C. He received his education at Norcott School, Concord, N.C., completed the eighth grad grammar school, and desiring to further his education, he decided to enlist in the Navy where he could realize his ambition and take advantage of the many opportunities that await a young man who enlists in the navy, and on the 2nd of December, 1924, at Charlotte, he enlisted for a period of four years. During his training at Hampton Roads, Va., he was very attentive to his drills and duties, and has already passed the required entrance examination and transferred to Machinist Mates School. It can well be hoped that his future naval career will be marked by such evidence of character and worth.
The primary mission of the navy’s trade schools, states Chief Tivis Myers, navy recruiting officer at Charlotte, is to provide during the time of peace trained personnel to fill the vacancies occurring on board ships of the fleet through trained men leaving the service. These latter men return to civil life, where because of their efficient training they are in great demand. Their naval training is an asset to themselves, their families and their communities. They raise the mental, moral and physical standards, thereby yielding bountiful return for every dollar spent for that training.
