To every underclassman, the end of the aca- demic year marks a transition from the routine of school life to what is a highlight during the four years spent as a midshipman-summer cruise. Summer cruise serves to increase the professional knowledge of the midshipmen, and gives midship- men a look at the different aspects of the Navy in order to help them in their particular choice of assignment upon graduation. v I During third class summer cruise, traditionally called youngster cruise, a midshipman is placed aboard ship in the capacity of an enlisted man. During the next six to seven weeks he learns the life of an enlisted man by actually taking that man's place. On a destroyer, for example, a mid- shipman might stand bridge watches one week while the next finds him in the 1100 heat of the boiler room. Deployed aboard ships of the First or Second Fleet, most of the time is spent con- ducting exercises off the East of West coasts of the United States. Youngster cruise involves a lot of ' hard work, but undertaken with the proper attitude, it can be both enjoyable and profitablej Second class summer olfers an entirely differ- ent type of training. During PHIBTRAMID, the midshipman undergoes a rigorous indoctrination program of Marine Corps tactics and operations. This training period takes place at Little Creek, Virginia, and is highlighted by a full scale am- phibious landing. The second classman then goes to Texas for what most midshipmen consider their most enjoyable and exciting cruise-flight indoc- trination training at NAS Corpus Christi. Here the future officer finds an opportunity to fly in various naval aircraft-ranging from the old T-34 to modern jet trainers. To the new first class, summer cruise means a seven week cruise as a junior officer aboard anything from a submarine to an aircraft carrier. In their capacity as junior officers, first classmen take an active part in .the everyday administration of a ship underway. This cruise provides a real opportunity to see the ublack-shoe Navy as it actually is, and a chance to put into practice lessons learned in the classroom. For the first time, midshipmen assume some of the duties and responsibilities that they will face as new ensigns. Summer cruise programs do not attempt to show a midshipman all the aspects of Navy life. They do, however, offer an excellent cross-section of the major roles an officer may expect to play in the complex, modern Navy. i .-za-t
