N PROCESSIN A T THE RECEIVING and Outfitting Unit, better known as R 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 some seventy other young men are assigned to their recruit company. As a newly formed company they are welcomed aboard by an officer representative of the Commanding Officer and are placed under the charge of an experienced senior petty officer who will be their company commander throughout their period of recruit training. Each company commander is a care- fully selected, thoroughly experienced career Navy petty of- ficer of demonstrated leadership ability who has received special training in working with recruits. In his new company the recruit will meet young men from all walks of life and sections of the country. From these men who will be his shipmates for the coming weeks, he may form life long friendships. One of the most important steps in the in processing stage is the administration of the Navy's General Classifi- cation Test. The results of these tests together with a later meeting with a trained classification interviewer will lead to the selection of a career pattern in the Navy, and to special schooling after his graduation from recruit training. Having donned his new Navy uniform and shipped his civilian clothes home, the new recruit is now ready to move to the Primary Training Regiment where his company will go on schedule.
