PROCESSI ,f .iff'1.3 ,Es ff I, 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 other young men are as- signed to their recruit company. As a newly formed com- pany they are welcomed aboard 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. ln 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. 1 s V , d A psf ix Mi, fl..
