Not so absent-minded when you get
right down to it. He remembered the
most important item—the Coke! Yes,
people will forgive you almost anything
if you just remember to bring along
their favorite sparkling drink—ice-cold
Coca-Cola. Do have another, professor!

The Air Force pilot or navigator is a man of
many talents. He is, first of all, a master of
the air—and no finer exists. In addition, he
has a firm background in engineering, elec-
tronics, astro-navigation and allied fields.
Then, too, he must show outstanding quali-
ties of initiative, leadership and self-reliance.
He is, in short, a man eminently prepared for
an important career in the new Age of Space.
As a college graduate, you will be given

diately of qualification status. Find out if you
