[Navy new recruits, 1930s?]

The film provides an overview of the training process for new recruits in the United States Navy. It highlights the rigorous entrance examinations, the importance of physical health, and the various aspects of naval discipline. Recruits undergo military training, receive essential uniforms and gear, learn to sleep in hammocks, and participate in infantry drills to foster teamwork and obedience. The film also emphasizes the significance of proper nutrition, recreational activities, and swimming lessons, ensuring that recruits are well-prepared for life at sea while addressing their spiritual needs through the support of a chaplain. NOTE: the leader says this film is “Cowboy Holiday” and it is not that film.
