WELCOME ABOARD

You'll never forget "Boot Camp!"

Throughout your Navy career you'll remember that this was the most active, most knowledgeable part of it. You'll discuss it with your former "shipmates." Many years from now you'll most likely encounter former Boot Camp buddies; you'll have some laughs over your mutual experiences.

The official name for Boot Camp is Recruit Training. It is designed to convert you from civilian to an apprentice Navyman in a relatively short time.

You, only you, can make the most of it!

Read on, potential Navyman, and see what's in store.
