It's rather daunting to consider that a 15 year old was expected to commit himself to 15 years of service-- remember being 15?

Rick,

Thanks for posting this interesting document! Not even 16 and one's life is already owned by the KM...

Best Regards,

I've got 1915 Imperial navy officer entry requirements, and there too an immediate disqualifier was "wearing glasses."

I am still bemused by reading as a soon to graduate high school senior in the early 1970s that the U.S. Air Force Academy did not accept anyone who had dental fillings. I've passed over half a century on Planet Earth and in all that time have only met ONE person who had no fillings-- and no, NOT an Air Force Academy grad!
