After logging in and getting watch caps, one of the first things they learn is their rights and privileges as defined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Then they take the Navy's General Classification Test Battery. lt is through the results of these tests, combined later with an interview by a trained classification inter- viewer, that the Navy is able to select the appropriate career pattern for each man entering the service. Designations for special schooling after completion of recruit training are made at this time. lt is here that they are given thor- ough medical and dental examinations, as well as a complete outfit of Navy uniforms and clothing. Finally, it is here that the recruit first meets his company commander, and the other members of his company with whom he is destined to spend the duration of his training.
