...prime example the case of a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman, aged 20, who wanted to re-enlist after two years of duty. To meet the Navy's physical requirements, he had to drop 50 lbs., and while on a rigorous diet in the metabolic ward of the Naval Hospital in Oakland he lost weight fast. No sooner was he back on duty than he discovered that his newfound slimness was a surprising disadvantage. He was expected to do chores from which he had formerly been excused.

Right now, though, Navy's 1963 All-America Quarterback Roger Staubach, 24, pretty much has to throw to his old teammate, former Navy Guard Fred Marlin, 26. There aren't too many other decent receivers at the U.S. naval base at Danang in South Viet Nam, where Ensign Staubach is stationed as a supply officer. Jolly Roger keeps his passing arm limbered up by working out with Fred in the loading areas-and there's still talk that he'll give the pros a try when...
