U. S. NAVAL TRAINING CENTER
San Diego, California
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
which they serve. By the Romans the anchor was re-
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 recruitls 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 of a recruit is
traced from his initial arrival at the Naval Training
Center until his graduation.

THE ANCHOR
HISTORY
The NAVAL TRAINING CENTER, San Diego, had
its inception in 1916 when Mr. William Kettner, Con-
gressman from the Eleventh Congressional District of
California and spokesman for the San Diego Chamber
of Commerce, interested the Honorable Franklin D.
Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in
establishing a naval training activity on the shores of
San Diego Bay. Due to the Nations entry into World
War I, further development of this plan was postponed
until 1919, when Congress authorized acceptance by
the Navy of the present site of the Training Center. The
original grant consisted of 135 acres of highland donated
by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce and 142 acres
of tideland given by the City of San Diego. Construction
work began in 1921, and on IJune 1923 the U.S. Naval
Training Station, San Diego, was placed in commission
under the command of Captain tlater Rear AdmiraD
David F. Sellers, US. Navy.
At the time of its commissioning in 1923 the station
bore little resemblance to its present size or arrange-
ment. At that time Camp PaulJones housed the entire
population of the station and the maximum recruit
strength was 1,500. The period of recruit training was
then sixteen weeks. The shore line of San Diego Bay
extended considerably further inland than at present,
and the land now occupied by Preble Field, the North
Athletic area and Camp Farragut was entirely under
water. The recruit parade ground was located on the
present site of the Public Works garage. During the
192015 the Recruit Receiving and Outgoing Units were
housed in the Detention Unit, known as Camp Ingram,
which consisted of a group of walled tents adjacent to
the south boundary of Camp Paul Jones. Until Camp
Lawrence was completed in 1936, recruits spent their
first three weeks of training under canvas in this Det-
ention Unit.
In 1939 a construction program was commenced
which within three years was to increase the capacity
of the station four-fold. This expansion went hand in
glove with a large scale program of harbor improve-
ments by means of which the channel and anchorages
in San Diego Bay were deepened and 130 acres of filled
land were added to the eastern boundaries of the sta-
tion. By 1941 Camp Luce had been completed, and the
construction Camps Mahan, Decatur, and Farragut
was already well under way when theJapanese at tacked
Pearl Harbor. Virtually all this construction work was
completed by September, 1942, when the capacity of the
station had reached its wartime peak of 33,000 men,
25,000 of whom were recruits. The period of recruit
training during World War II varied between three
weeks and seven weeks.
In April, 1944, the Secretary of the Navy changed the
status of the Training Station to that of a group com-
mand and redesignated it the US. Naval Training Cen-
ter, San Diego. Under the Center Commander were
established three subordinate commands: The Recruit
Training Command, The Service School Command and
the Naval Training Station.
The years immediately following World War II saw a
considerable reduction in population of the Training
Center despite a post-war expansion of the Service
Schools, and by the end of 1949 the population of the
Center had dropped to a twenty-year low of 5,800 men.
Six months later, when the Communists invaded the
Republic of Korea, and immediate expansion of all
Naval training activities took place and by September
of 1950 the Center was again operating at nearly full
capacity.
During the early months of the Korean conflict it
became apparent that the demand for trained personnel
in the rapidly growing Pacific Fleet would require
further expansion of this training center. Accordingly
steps were taken by the Navy Department to reactive
Camp Elliott, formerly a World War II Marine Corps
training camp which is located ten miles north of San
Diego on Kearny Mesa. On 15January 1951 Camp Elli-
ott was placed in commission as Elliott Annex of the
Naval Training Center for the purpose of conducting
the primary phases of recruit training. In March, 1953,
in line with the planned reduction in size of the Navy,
training at Elliott Annex was discontinued and it was
placed in an inactive status. During its two years of
operation, over 150,000 recruits received training there.
Late in 1952 projects were approved to convert some
recruit barracks into classrooms and to extend training
facilities by construction of a permanent recruit camp
on the undeveloped Training Center land lying to the
south and east of the estuary. The six converted bar-
racks went into service as recruit classrooms in April,
1953, and construction work on the new camp was
completed in 1955.
In late 1965, the demand for trained Navy men to man
the additional ships and overseas billets, required to
meet the Vietnam crisis, brought the on-board popula-
tion to a record of over 18,000 recruits, the highest since
Korea. At the same time a military construction pro-
gram got underway with the foundation ofa new 8,000-
man mess hall being laid adjacent to Bainbridge Court.
In addition, an ambitious five-year program was for-
malized for the construction of modern barracks, TV
classrooms and administration facilities. The face lift-
ing of the Recruit Command was completed by the early
1970's.
In the furtherance of its mission of supplying trained
naval personnel to the fleets and ships of the United
States Navy, each of the three subordinate commands
of the Naval Training Center has important roles to fill.
The Naval Training Station has the responsibility of
conducting most of the Centers administrative busi-
ness and furnishing a wide range of services necessary
to the daily life of the large community which the Cen-
ter has become. The Administrative Command has the
responsibility of maintaining the Centers buildings
and grounds, and through its facilities all personnel on
the Center are housed, fed, clothed and paid, and
receive their medical and dental care. The Naval Train-
ing Station also provides such other community servi-
ces as recreational and Navy Exchange facilities; com-
munications, postal and transportation services;
and police and fire protection.
Under the Service School Command are grouped
more than twenty Navy Schools in which recruits as
well as men from the fleet receive training in the spe-
cialized duties of certain ratings. Most of these are
Class 0A" schools, where non-rated men learn the skills
and information necessary to them to perform a specific
petty officer rating. Among these schools are those
which train electricians mates, radiomen. Other schools
teach specialized skills such as teletype maintenance
and stenography. The present capacity of the Service
Schools is about 5,000 men.
Today after six decades of service to the Navy the
Naval Training Center San Diego still faces with confi-
dence the challenges of an unsettled world.

RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND
The largest of the three commands at the Training
Center is the Recruit Training Command. Here the re-
cruit undergoes his transition from civilian to military
life; learns the history, traditions, customs and regula-
tions of his chosen service; and receives instruction in
naval skill and subjects which will be basic information
throughout his period of naval service.
Most of the facilities of the Recruit Training Com-
mand are centered on Bainbridge Court and occupy the
western half of the Training Center. Here are concen-
trated the barracks and headquarters of the recruit bri-
gade, and nearby are located the mess hall, classrooms,
athletic fields and recreation buildings used by the re-
cru1ts.

A T THE RECEIVING and Outfitting Unit, better
known as ttR and O," the recruit receives his first intro-
duction to recruit training. Here he is given thorough medi-
cal and dental examinations, takes various mental tests and
is issued his outfit of Navy uniforms and clothing.
Soon after his arrival he and other young men are as-
signed to their recruit company. As a newly formed com-
pany they are itwelcomed aboardii by an officer representa-
tive of the Commanding Officer and are placed under the
charge of an experienced senior petty officers who will be
their company commanders throughout their period of re-
cruit training. Each company commander is a carefully
selected, thoroughly experienced career Navy petty officer.
of demonstrated leadership ability who has received special
training in working with recruits.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
T 0 BE OF MAXIMUM effective use to himself and to
the Navy a man must be in top physical condition, must
know how to care for his body and must be able to survive in
the water at sea. To the end that all navy men may meet
these demands of naval service, they participate in a physical
training program that involves strenuous physical training
and physical exertion, instruction in swimming and sea sur-
vival, and instruction in first aid, lifesaving and personal
hygiene.
When they report for duty some recruits are soft, some are
overweight, and some are underweight. To build some up
and trim others down, and to condition all for the rigors of
life at sea, aswell-planned physical training program is inte-
grated with other phases of training: military drill, an active
outdoor life, good food, good living habits. These physical
training activities emphasize correct posture and muscular
coordination and strive to develop a respect for authority
and habits of instantaneous response to commands.
All meneparticularly sailors whole life will be the seae
must know how to swim, how to use life jackets and, if no
jacket is available, how to use clothing as a flotation device.
Many hours are spent in the swimming pools. Non-swim-
mers are taught to swim, qualified swimmers improve their
ability, and all recruits learn sea survival and water safety.
Stressed constantly in the Physical Training Program is
personal cleanliness and the importance of health to the indi-
vidual and to the Navy. A knowledge of the medical and
dental services available, the prevention of infections, correct
eating habits, and the care of feet, mouth, and teeth is pro-
vided by competent medical instructors. The recruit also re-
ceives first aid instruction so that he will know how to care
for himself or for his injured shipmates under circumstances
where immediate medical attention is not available.

ORDNANCE AND GUNNERY
TO BE AN EFFECTIVE fighting unit, a warship must
be capable of inflicting maximum damage upon the enemy;
to survive, it must be able to defend itself against hostile
attack. In Ordnance Training, the recruit learns some of the
duties performed on board ship by WFhe Man Behind the
Gun?
Ordnance and Gunnery training begins with instruction
in the use of small arms. Under the guidance of experienced
range coaches, the recruit learns how to load, sight and how
to fire the weapon. Later he will fire the weapon at the
indoor range. Throughout, the safe use of weapons is
stressed in instruction and rigidly enforced on the firing
line.
In advanced training the recruit receives an introduction
to the larger weapons he will see on board ship and learns
some of the principles of their operation. Although he will
not witness the actual firing of these shipboard weapons
until he goes to sea. He is shown the various types of
ammunition he will encounter and handle on board ship and
learns the necessity for strictly observing the safety precau-
tions which are necessary for his own safety and that of his
shipmates.

O MEN WHO WILL llgo down to the sea in shipsll a
knowledge of basic seamanship is fundamental. Although
some seamanship skills can be mastered only from long expe-
rience at sea, the foundations upon which these skills are
based form an important part of recruit training. Emphasis
here is placed upon teaching the recruit the language of the sea
and the names and uses of the tools of his new trade.
Among the subjects taught to the recruit are marlinspike
seamanship and knot tying, steering and sounding, anchoring
and mooring, and the recognition of various types of ships,
their characteristics and structures. He learns the principles of
shipboard organization and something of the role he will later
play as a member of his shipls company. He receives practical
instruction in the use of the sound-powered telephones by
which personnel stationed in various parts of a ship may com-
municate with each other.
To facilitate practical demonstrations of these subjects the
RECRUIT, a scale model of a destroyer escort, was construc-
ted on shore for use by recruits. On board this landlocked ship
practical exercises are held in stationing personnel for getting
underway and anchoring, the handling of mooring lines, the
manning of watch and battle stations.
By the time he completes recruit training the recruit will
have learned many of the fundamentals of seamanship which
will stand him in good stead on board ship.

DAMAGE CONTROL
HE PAGES OF HISTORY of World War II are filled
with instances where brave men, given the proper
equipment and the necessary tlknow how? were able to
save their ships from apparently certain loss followinglsevere
battle damage. Fires were extinguished, flooded compart-
ments plugged and dewatered, and the wounded cared for,
to the end that the ship survived and returned to fight other
battles.
Damage Control instruction for the recruit is designed to
teach him the fundamental principles of fire fighting and a
working knowledge of the equipment which may save his
ship and his own life.
Probably one of the longest remembered days of recruit
training is the one spent at the Fire Fighting Center. Here
the recruit learns the chemistry of fire, basic principles of
combating fire, and then spends nearly an entire day extin-
guishing actual fires. Under watchful supervision of trained
firefighters he will put out serious fires under simulated
shipboard conditions. After receiving this valuable practi-
cal experience he will have lost most of his fear of fire and
will have gained confidence in his ability to combat serious
fires.
The recruit also receives practical instruction in the use
of the gas mask, oxygen breathing apparatus and other
equipment designed for his personal protection. In the tear
gas chamber he has the opportunity to test the effectiveness
of his gas mask.
Basic instruction is also given to each recruit in the prob-
able effects of an atomic explosion and the measures he
should take to insure his personal safety and survival.

MILITARY TRAINING
HE MILITARY DRILL, watch standing and inspec-
T tions that are all a part of the recruitls military training
are generally new experiences to him. The marching, the
facing, the manual of arms at first seem difficult beyond all
reason, but after a weeks practice, confidence begins to
appear and by the end of primary training the company has
become a sharp appearing unit.
Even though the navy man seldom carries a rifle or
marches in a military unit after he completes his recruit
training, there is a definite and important place in recruit
training, for military drill. The military control of the com-
pany is gained and maintained through constant drilling.
Leaders are discovered and developed, and others learn
instantaneous response to command. All develop coordina-
tion of mind and body, and an llesprit de corps" grows within
..,,. Mm
the company. Together with physical training, military drill
is a part of the physical conditioning or ilhardening upii
process for the recruit. But most of all, military drill teaches
the recruit the importance of implicit obedience to orders
and the importance of the individual in a military group,
whether he be in a marching unit, on a gun crew, in the fire
room, or on the bridge.
Inspections will always be an important matter in the life
of a man in the Navy. In recruit training the vigorous compe-
tition maintained between the recruit companies is based
largely on a series of regular inspections which serve the
double purpose of teaching him the requirements of military
life while comparing his performance and that of his unit
with the performance of others in training with him.

DRILL SHOW
Comprised of young men currently undergoing regular recruit train-
ing, Drill Team is made up of four special performing units: the Drum
and Bugle Corps, F ifty-State Flag Team, Rifle Team and Division Staffs.
Selected during their first day at Recruit Training Command from
among many volunteers, the future members of these units complete all
phases of Basic Military and Academic Training while perfecting their
marching and musical talents. It is a tribute to the enthusiasm and
ability of these young men and theirinstructors that they have gained a
wide-spread reputation for the excellence of their musical and marching
performance.
The Drum and Bugle Corps, perhaps the best known of these units,
along with the Fifty-State Flag Team, provides entertainment at
numerous sporting events, civic affairs and parades in and around the
San Diego and Southern California area. The Corps and the Flag Team
are quite proud of their record of having never achieved less than a
second place award when performing in competition with other civilian
and military units.
While their outside committments are numerous, the primary reason
for the existence of these special units is to provide entertainment and
leadership for the weekly recruit brigade review. Every Friday after-
noon prior to the review, The Drum and Bugle Corps, Rifle Team and
Fifty-State F lag Team perform in a most impressive and entertaining
display of their talents for parents and friends of graduating recruits.
Once on the parade field, it is the fourth of our special units, the
Division, and Training Units Staffs who take charge of the review. With
the Naval Training Center Band tthe only non-recrut unit on the fieldl, it
is the responsibility of the Staffs to lead the review from the time the
companies mass on the field through Officer's Center, and the final
ilPass in review".
This truly impressive group of fine and talented young men, will
shortly leave these special units to join the Navy's finest.

A FLOAT OR ASHORE, each naval unit is generally a self-
sustaining unit. The messing of the crew, all the house-
keeping Chores, and the watch standing must be performed by
those assigned to the unit. Throughout his naval career, re-
gardless of his rate or rating, each man is in some way con-
cerned with these service duties to which the recruit is intro-
duced during service week. In any unit, men in the lower rates
will usually perform the ilchores" and those in the higher rates
will supervise them; all must stand watches; and all must live
together in the same ship.
The fifth week of recruit training is devoted to instruction
and practical experience in Ship's Work Training. For six
weeks of his training period the recruit is waited upon in the
mess halls by other recruits and for one week he takes his turn
in performing these important tasks for his shipmates in
recruit training.
Although the fifth week is specifically designated for train-
ing in these service duties, much of his training continues
throughout the entire training period. Every messenger or
sentry watch and every cleaning detail is a part of the recruits
training in the problems of community living.
In the Recruit Training Command it is believed that the
things a recruit must learn in ship's work training can best be
tought by actually doing them, for experience is the greatest
teacher of all.

P ROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT thing that a
recruit must learn during his recruit training is how to
live with others in a military organization. Life and living
conditions in the Navy differ so greatly from anything the
young man has known in civilian life that teaching him to
live in close quarters as a member of a military group be-
comes one of the major missions of recruit training.
At the Training Center his barracks is the recruits
llhomefi It is in his barracks that he spends an appreciable
portion of his time in training. Here he establishes himself
;in a sense, drops his anchorafor the weeks in which
he will be experiencing the transition from civilian to mili-
tary life.
MAIL CALL
The barracks is not only a place for the recruit to sleep;
it is his most important classroom. Here he lllearns by
doing? He learns to live with others and to take care of
himself and his belongings. The scrubbing of his clothing,
the cleaning of his barracks, and the constant inspections
all serve but one purpose; to prepare him for a successful
life during the remainder of his tour in the Navy.
And it is not all work, for the recruit must also learn the
need of a Navy man for the companionship of his fellows,
for mail from home, and for amusement and relaxation. He
should also develop the habits of writing letters and budget-
ing his spare time. These things he learns in his barracks life
at the Training Center.

RELIGIOUS LIFE
1 N MAKING THE CHANGE from civilian to military
life, the recruit does not leave behind the religious beliefs
0d, we pray to thee which he learned at home. Instead, he is given every oppor-
. . tunity and encouragement to maintain and strengthen his
or those m perzl 0n the sea religious interests.
Soon after his arrival, the recruit is given an opportunity to
talk to a chaplain of his own faith, who will acquaint him with
the chaplainis role in the command and will explain the reli-
gious programs which will be available to him during recruit
training.
Regular divine services are conducted by chaplains of all
faiths, thus giving each man an opportunity to worship in ac-
cordance with his religious background.Voluntary classes of
religious instruction are held regularly for the benefit of re-
cruits who desire to prepare themselves for church member-
ship. The chaplains cooperate closely with the local churches
to facilitate membership or attendance at services in those
churches.
Character guidance talks given by the chaplains are an inte-
gral part of recruit training. These are designed to foster the
growth of moral responsibility, spiritual values and strong
self-discipline within the recruit.
Recruits are encouraged to participate in the religious life of
the station by joining the choir or providing musical accom-
paniment at divine services.
In time of distress or personal emergency, the chaplains
stand ready to give advice and counsel, and the recruit is en-
couraged to take his personal problems to a chaplain of his
choice at any time. The chaplains also maintain close contact
with the Navy Relief Society and The American Red Cross in
obtaining financial and other assistance to those in need.

RECREATION
R ECREATION PLAYS AN important part in the re-
cruit's training at the Naval Training Center. Through-
out his life in the Navy, many and varied recreation facili-
ties and opportunities will be available to him, but he
himself must learn how to make the best and most
worthwhile use of these opportunities
During his first weeks of training the recruit has little
or no time to spare from his daily routine for recreation. In
order to bring him through the loneliness and sharp read-
justment to life in his new environment, a special effort is
made to keep each recruit fully occupied throughout each
day of primary training, and he therefore has little time or
inclination for the recreational opportunities which lie
ahead of him. Liberty to visit San Diego is not granted
until after the final week of training.
The recreational facilities of the Training Center are
many and varied. In the recreation buildings in the recruit
areas there are excellent libraries, game rooms, television
lounges, billiard rooms and bowling alleys. Movies are
available on certain evenings and on week-ends. The facil-
ities of the Navy Exchange store, soda fountain and snack
bar afford him opportunities to purchase his needs con ve-
niently and at reasonable cost. An attended telephone
exchange makes it easy for the recruit to call any place in
an emergency, orjust to hear familiar voices from home.
Athletics also play a part in the recreation program.
Intercompany softball. baseball and volleyball games
afford a diversion from the daily routine, and spectator
interest in varsity athletics is often keen. During his off
hours the recruit may also use one of the swimming pools
or play golf, tennis or handball.
Commencing his final week of training, each recruit
who has earned the privilege is granted liberty on two
days after his graduation parade. During his liberty hours
the recruit is "on his own" to select his own form of
recreation, but by group indoctrination he is reminded
that he has an obligation to the uniform he is wearing to
conduct himself in a manner which will bring credit to
himself, his organization and his Navy.
The San Diego recruit is particularly fortunate in being
stationed in a city which has so many worthwhile attrac-
tions for its visitors. Fine beaches are at hand for those
who wish to relax on the sand or swim in the surf. Balboa
Park, with its excellent zoo and other scenic and recrea-
tional attractions, is always popular with the recruit and
man-of-warsman alike. The shopping and amusement
facilities of down-town San Diego also attract many Navy
men on liberty.
The USO and Armed Services YMCA, together with
local churches and community organizations all do their
part to help the serviceman enjoy his liberty in San Diego.
For families and relatives who may have occasion to
come to the Training Center, the Reception Center
affords convenient and attractive surroundings for visit-
ing or for taking a picnic lunch.
