James Clianey Is Marine Navigator Being a Marine navigator is a distinction held by a small group numbering no more than 200 U S. Marines. Corporal James Chaney, son of Mr. and MMrs. S. C. Chaney of Clinton, had no idea of what the future held for him on enlist ment in the Marine Corps. After graduating from Clinton High School, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and completed his initial training at Parris Island, S. C., and Camp Lejeune, N. C. Approximately 17 weeks after entering the Marine Corps, Cha ney reported to Cherry Point, the world’s largest Marine Corps Air Station, for 19 weeks of instruc tion in aerial navigation. The course of instruction con sisted of dead reckoning, celest ial navigation^ loran, radar, ra dio, consol and weather. These subjects were put into practical application during the course of flights to Panama, Azores, Bri tish West Indies and to Europe. Corporal Chaney’s first assign ment after graduation retained him at the school where he was to become an instructor. But be fore he actually had a chance to get established the opportunity arose for a tour Of duty overseas. After arriving for duty with the 1st Marine Air Wing at Iwa- kuni, Japan, he was transferred to Okinawa where he served for 13 months as a navigator on a 2-engine transport. During this tour he extended his travels to the Philippines, Hong Kong, Ko rea and to all of the smaller is lands of the Pacific. Upon returning to the states he was assigned and is now serving at Cherry Point, N. C., with the 2nd Marine Air Wing.
