War Service Bureau June 29, 1942

The V-1 program has been considerably liberalized of late. Eye requirements have been lowered (but not below 12-20) and the opportunities for Specialists Commissions for men with 12-20 eyes increased. The 35,000 officer candidates quota first set as a maximum, is now regarded as a minimum. V-1 officers will be in Lowell C-12 all day Monday, to explain this to men from '44, '45, and '46. A V-5 officer will be there as well, and at the same time the Army Air Force has a representative stationed in Lowell C-11.

The V-1 meeting at Phillips Brooks House at 7:00 this evening will have as speakers some officers just back from active service.
