RECREATION O maintain peak efficiency throughout his period of basic training, each recruit must have a proportionate amount of work, sleep, and play. Recreation, therefore, becomes a vital part of his training. A staff of experienced officers and chief petty officers, together with civilian librarians and recreation directors, works con- stantly to provide relaxation, amusement and entertainment for the recruit during his off- duty hours. Perhaps the most popular type of recreation afforded the recruit is the recruit dance held each month in a regimental drill hall. Senior companies of recruits play host to the recruit WAVES and to USO junior hostesses from ad- jacent communities. USO chaperones, duty offi- cers and officers and their wives attached to the command are present to help everyone enjoy the affair. A recruit dance orchestra provides the music, and free refreshments are available to all throughout the evening. A recreation building in each regimental area provides many facilities for relaxation. Here the recruit may bowl, play pmg-pong, b1ll1ards,.pool and other games, enjoy television and radio or listen to a variety of records. An attended library of books and current magazines, and a comfort- able reading room, is available to him. In ad- dition, a Navy Exchange store, snack bar and soda fountain are open for his convenience. At frequent intervals, variety shows, name bands and USO shows visit the command to en- tertain the recruits, and each Saturday and Sun- day evening the latest movies are shown in the regimental drill halls. For the hobbyist there is a well equipped hobby shop where the inter- ested recruit may work in leather, metals, wood, plastics or model building. Best of all, perhaps, are those visiting days when the recruit may entertain his family and friends at the Recreation Center, or, in the sum- mer, enjoy eating an outdoor lunch with them in the picnic area.
