THE NAVAL DRILLS NAVAL DEPARTMENT The six phases of the naval drills, namely, infantry, seamanship, navigation, and ordnance, have been outlined and organized with a view to develop the cadet's sense of duty, judgment, initiative and spirit of teamfwork. This training takes note of the natural liking of youth for activities that require skill, pre- cision and speed. The Faculty feels that it will produce gratifying results in the development of upright bearing, sound physique, reliable character, and initiative in the cadet which academic training alone is not designed to cover. Interest in sailing, rowing and water sports is a highly virile trait. By reason of the nature and requirements of these naval drills, graduates of the Admiral Farragut Academy will be qualified for: faj The professional requirements of Iunior Oiiicers' ratings in the U. S. Merchant Marine. fbj The professional requirements of Junior Officers' commissions in the U. S. Naval Reserve. The practical work required by this training will in large measure be performed with the equipment and waterfcraft at the Academy. Additional practical experience will be attained by cadets who are members of the Naval Reserve. Eligible cadets are encouraged to join the Naval Reserve.
