G. J. Novak

Robert - unfortunately at this point there is no decisive indication although the list is small - I am a bit burned out on this one may get back to it down the road - there are bunches of G. J. Novak in the Navy and many enlistments for G. Novak in the army - Need to recheck USMC for G. J. Novak. Perhaps others can add their thoughts or data. Can provide you with the spreadsheet if you are interested.

Here is what I have found
Red (unlikely) is due to the enlistment date of 1945
Orange (less likely) is due to Air Corps enlistments
Light Green (possible week connection) is due to the spouse name
Green (possible) No cause to reject the candidate
