This rank was a common one for new recruits, and it would have been expected that he would advance in rank as he gained experience and demonstrated leadership potential.

He enlisted "For The Duration Of The War Or Other Emergency, Plus Six Months, Subject To The Discretion Of The President Or Otherwise According To Law." This meant that he had committed to serving for the entire duration of the war, plus an additional six months if necessary. However, the President of the United States had the authority to release individuals from military service earlier if deemed appropriate.
