Oh, this is quite a question, isn't it?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Here you go, sir.
Here you are.
You see the rapid-up building over there?
Yeah, right.
If they make it, he's more than one star.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, my God.
What is the situation with regard to women getting into the armed services?
It is.
It is.
Exactly.
Everybody, all services.
Oh, of course.
You know that.
And the recruiting is going to look a little confusing, but if you don't go out in the sun, it's big scale.
So if you don't know what you're trying to do, you don't know that.
And, uh...
Are there lots of, are there not good fellows?
You could probably fill us some more.
We've never talked to them, sir, did we?
Yeah.
We've never had better people.
We were planning on interchanging them anyway.
Sure.
The young college graduate, the young college woman graduate, is going to be an officer.
It's astounding how many of those we have applied.
And they're great quality.
They are, really.
Now, that was not renewed.
Oh, yeah, well, but then we had some extra.
Yeah, this month.
Well, it's great.
It's great, but not only will you sign a bill that gave them all a pay raise.
It's pretty popular.
I'm a restaurant, DC, sir, ladies and gentlemen.
We have a co-educational office training class.
The class this year, Bowdoin's graduated from the top class.
And the last class, two of them graduated from the two to three.
And the 16th graduated from the 10th and 15th grade.
I'm glad to hear that you know that to define adequate people for the peacetime services in Armstrong,
And you can tell, particularly those who bring attention to the cruise, that we need them.
And they will get them.
Because it may be, in many ways, a reality that we have a chance.
If I said it right, then you'd want more money.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Yes, yes.
Well, thank you very much.
Always good to see you.
Remember when you get a second star, come back.
Senator Allen is coming to the table.
