Robert’s Naval Service is Automatically Extended

Robert is told that although his enlistment was supposed to have expired on June 23rd, 1944, he is being extended for indefinitely, and at the most six m0nths after the end of the war.  In other words, he is told his time in the Navy is far from over.  This action was not unique to Robert and has more to do with the timing as D-Day in mainland Europe had just happened, and the Champlin would be heading there soon to help support that effort.  The Navy needed every man they had.
