THE NAVY NEEDS MEN In order for the U. S. Navy to keep up its required strength it needs more men to replace the men being discharged and to commission the two new ships, the U. S. S. Lexington and Saratoge, airplane carriers, the latest addition to the U. S. Navy. These new ships will require approximately 2,500 men, and in order to operate the Navy economically and efficiently, it needs men of good reliable character and dependable ability. The Navy develops and trains men mentally and physically, it trains them toward making--a living after discharge. It gives a travel and practical education that cannot be equalled elsewhere. The special training schools of the Navy teach numerous trades and Courses. To be exact, there are fiftyfour trades »nd 142 educational courses for the sailor to choose from. They have turned out good men. The Navy can't function without them. It can't enlist enough trained men or send them all to outside schools. It has to train its own. The schools are divided into three general classes: elementary, advanced and special. When the men finish their recruit training, they can choose any of the following: Radio, electrical, musician, machinist, artificer, hospital corps, aviation, elementary courses. The recrujts take their choice, but must win their details to the schools by competitive examination. In the meantime, while he- is learning, working and traveling, he receives pay according to his rating. Navy life is not all study, play and travel. It includes hard work. But it also provides recreation. It includes and enforces discipline, but that discipline does not break self-respect. Discipline, the ability to control oneself, to obey and command, is one of the most valuable asets a, man can have. He needs it in whatever pursuit he engages. Why wait? Let's go now.
