YOUNGSTER CRUISE. . . AT SEA There is nothing like a look at the real Navy after plebe year. New youngsters on their summer cruises got more than just a look, they got a full month of on-the-job experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives. From carriers to YPs, from the Med to the Pacific, third classmen traveled all over the world in order to watch their probooks come alive and find out what life is all about outside of Mother B. The liberty calls and the new friends will never be forgotten, either. Some mids not only had fun on cruise but also managed to work and qualify on their ship. The highlight of cruise, though, was spotting the chapel dome for the first time after cruise and becoming a real youngster, ready for the new year. The Year: YoungitlerCruinr
