FIRST CLASS First Class Cruise enables ,the midshipman to familiarize himself with the duties of a iunior officer aboard ship. Not only does he obtain a working knowledge of division officer responsi- bilities and collateral duties, he is also thoroughly initiated into all iunior officer watch stations. This past summer, individual USC middies visited such places as Copenhagen, Rome, Monaco, Turkey, Athens, Honolulu, and Tokyo as an integral part of their shipboard training. 50 ABOVE: McKay has the conn?

SECOND CLASS To give the midshipman a greater appreciation of the flying branch of the Navy, three weeks of 2nd class cruise is spent at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. There a midshipman has three flights in a 11.34 trainer, the Tenny Weeny , followed by one hour in a 5-2 Tracker,' and the F-9 Cougar or T-2 Buckeye. In addition basics are given in the use of the 45 pistol and survival techniques for the midshipmen at the Welcoming Ball. The Ready Room also stands by to assure the midshipmen of something to do in the evening and regret in the morning. One thing is assured, any- body who is allergic to the sun should beware, it burns there for 25 hours a day. LEFT TOP: Ready-Room Art Work. LEFT MIDDLE: Waiting for a Chair.
