Although the men are | enlisted in the volunteer Naval Re- serve, they are required to perform | the same drills as the fleet Reservists during the period which they are can- | didates for the academy appointments, and for this purpose they are dis- tributed among the three fleet divi- | sions here, where they are constantly under the eyes of the Reserve officers during the drill period. Usually a cruise on a destrover or battleship will demonstrate their apti- tude for the service, and also will give X the candidates some idea as (o whether they would like to continue on a naval career. During the cruises they get a real taste of the Navy in action, particularly in view of the fact that the training ships assigned to take the Reservists out are drilling them constantly in order to get in as | much work during the two weeks' pe- riod as posssible. This year the candidates will have an opportunity of training aboard a battleship, an experience which some of the other members of the battalion will have for the first time. Many of the men now in the outfit are young- sters who were mere boys during the World War period. Since that time the degrees were conferred on two B, Kidwell, Joszph H. Church, Paul the local outfit has had its annual sea training only aboard small boats such as eagle boats and destrovers. How- ever, there are still left in the battal- ion a few veterans of the World War who have done training aboard the bigger ships of the Navy under war | conditions. During the annual cruise period this year all of the divisions will be taken out at one time, whereas heretofore, with only a destrover available, only one division has been cruising at a time. This has stretched the training period over most of the Summer, but under the new system it will be com- pleted in two weeks, and the majority of officers and men of the local battal- jon are looking forward to it with much interest. Officers’ boards of the local battalion are busily engaged now in examining candidates who have been recom- mended by their division officers for promotion to the next higher ratings. With less than 10 drills remaining be- fore the battalion sails on the annual | training cruise to Halifax, Nova Scotia, interest is said to be running high. Advancement in rating before the cruise will mean increased pay for the fortunate Reservists who go on a full pay basis for the 14 days that they are at sea. The examinations are to be com- pleted prior to the cruises and in time so that the necessary appointments may be made and noted on the pay rolls. Owing to the stringent drill schedule which is carried out on the training ships, there is little time for either officers or men to conduct ex- aminations or to appear before boards without taking away the little leisure time that they might have for recrea- tion purposes each day. Recruit classes are now well into the course for apprentice seamen. Each drill night is divided into sec- tions so that each recruit may get a solid, basic training before his en- listment as apprentice seaman on completion of the course of 12 weeks. ‘The men are given infantry drill, lectures on various phases of the naval service and the part the Reserve or- | gantzation will play in time of na- | tional emergency, instructicus in the | radio, battle problems and illustrated slides of scenes in the regular estab- lishment accompany the lectures. It was pointed out by officers of the local battalion that after enlistment the educational opportunities open to | apprentice seamen are varied and | numerous. There are courses in en- gineering of nearly every kind, from glant steam turbines to delicate avia- tion engines. There are courses avail- able which are helpful in business. The storekeepers’ ratings and yeomen ratings require & thorough training in business methods, accounting and stenography. The instructions in rifles and firearms are in detail. During the Summer months the Re- serve training launch makes & cruise down the Potomac River each week end. With accomodaticns for 12 men and three officers aboard, the ship provides space for instructions in elementary navigation and the han- dling of small boats. However, the officers of the local battalion hope that they will not have to limit the number of men on these cruises for very loug. Every effort is being made to have a larger vessel assigned here, particularly one of the type being used as a patrol boat for the Coast Guard. It was pointed out by division officers that they have to turn down a number of men each week for the cruises because of the lack of accommodations, and that the | It was pointed out by local battalion | officers that this recommendation is | didates are watched very closely as| districts and the Washington Navy | handling of large guns, semaphores, | Naval Reserve With View to Getting - ‘Assignment.
