OUNTLESS GENERATIONS of seafaring men '
have come to regard the anchor as a symbol of .
their profession and a mark of security to the ships on .J
which they serve. By the Romans the anchor was re- 4
garded as a symbol of wealth and commerce, while the
Greeks gave to it the significance of hope and steadiness, '
a meaning that persists in religion and heraldry today. , .
The symbolism of the Greeks was carried on by the early
Christians with a meaning of steadfastness, hope and
salvation.
Here, too, in recruit training, the anchor has special
significance, not only as the symbol of the recruit's new
life and surroundings but also as the steadfast symbol of
the security in his new career that his recruit training
will give him.
In the pages that follow, the daily life ofa recruit is
traced from his initial arrival at the Naval Training
Center until his graduation.
