and through its facilities all personnel on the Center are housed, fed, clothed and paid, and receive their medical and dental care. The Administrative Command also provides such other community services 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 specialized duties of certain ratings. Most of these are Class NAU 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 fire con- trol technicians, electricians mates, radiomen, yeomen, commissary- men and stewards. Other schools teach specialized skills such as motion picture operation, teletype maintenance and stenography. The present capacity of the Service Schools is about 5,000 men. The largest of the three commands at the Traning Center is the Recruit Training Command. Here the recruit undergoes his transi- tion from civilian to military life, learns the history, traditions, customs and regulations of his chosen service, and receives instruc- tion in naval skills and subjects which will be basic information throughout his period of naval service. Most of the facilities of the Recruit Training Command are centered on Bainbridge Court and occupy the western half of the Training Center. Here are concentrated the barracks and head- quarters of the recruit brigade, and nearby are located the mess halls, classrooms, athletic fields and recreation buildings used by the recruits. Now in its thirty-seventh year of service to the Navy, the Naval Training Center, San Diego, faces with confidence the challenges of an unsettled world.
