RELIGIOUS LIFE HE Navy recognizes that every means must be exer- l cised to strengthen the moral, spiritual and religious lives of naval personnel. All commanding officers are directed to insure that all personnel are reached by group instruction and by personal interview on all matters that promote the realization and development of these values consistent with religious beliefs of the individual con- cerned. In order to insure that the opportunity of continuing the religious practices and tradition of his home life is present, chaplains 0f the major faiths and denominations are assigned to each regiment of recruits in training. Vol- untary classes of religious instruction are held regularly at times when all personnel are free to attend. Closely allied to the religious program is the character and moral guidance series of lectures presented by the chaplains. These men, with years of experience in the naval service, both afloat and ashore, are particularly well quali- fled for this most important task. In a course of lectures, the recruit is acquainted with the many and perplexing problems which will confront him during his Navy career; and is shown the tight and wrong solutions to each. Thus, with his ideals and conviCtions Strengthened and bolstered by a Strong religious and moral foundation, the new Navy man is better prepared to serve his God and his Country with distinction, honor, loyalty and devotion -not only as a sailor, but also as a citizen.
