U. S. NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL IWRI

Bronx, N. Y.

TIle U. S. Naval T raining School, Women's Re· serve, is located in the Borough of the Bron>: , New York City.

The School is a primary indoctrination center where all en listed W AVES are trained. It is a train· ing center at which the recruit gets her first taste of Navy life and is prepared for further instruction in special training schools or fo r immediate assign. ment to active duty.

Through a combination of d rill, physical educa· tion, recreational activities, training films, special knuTes, and other inst ruction, the recruit learns how to be a useful member of a mi litary organiza­tion and acquires a pride in the U_ S. Navy.

Basic Recruit T raining which occupies the fi rst two weeks aboard is fundamental to all other in­struction and gives an immediate working knowl· edge of Na\'y ways and customs.

llie rest of the training prog ram combines 1«­lures with strip films. motion pictu res, and demon­strations of Naval material in use. The r«ruit learns the background and prog ress of the war, the gem­eral plan of Naval operations "shore and afl oat , and her own part in the job the Navy is doing_

111is tra mmg is supplemented by an c>:tensi\'e program of physica l education, includi ng competi. ti ve team sports, swimming and calist henics. Mili ta ry drill and discipline are taught to g ive the recruits poise and bearing in keeping with their positions in the Navy.

Recreational activities have an important place on the busy training schedule at the School. The WAVES write, direct and act in their own shows and skits, and each regiment has its own glee club_ lliece arc special activities for g roups interested in the arts_

In addit ion to movies there are frequent appcar­ances by outside talent in concerts, plays and radio programs. A featu re of the recreational activities is the .Monday night " Variety Show" at 1930 in the audio torium of \X'alton High School or in the Amphitheatre at the rea r of Student Hall. The W AVES publish a newspa­per "The Conning Tower" which is distributed free to all recrui ts.

,

l

AT VITAL TASKS

Thousands of WAVES who receive their basic training at the School are now replacing Navy fighti ng men at \·ital tasks in many branches of the service.

While at the School the recruit is interviewed to determine in which field she will specialize and what furthe r training she will need. Various tests, iOler­views and lectures are given to assist in making as­signments. To the fullest extent that the needs of the Navy permit, the assignments are in line with the preferences expressed by the recruits themselves. Some go on direct assignments from the School to jobs requi ring their special skills. Others go to ad­\'anced Naval training schools in various parts of the country. At each of these schools the recruit is ,given specialized training fo r a certain petty officer rating.

WAVES as well as men are doi nb Ihe impor­tant job of operating Link trainers at naval fly ing schools to teach pilots how to fly "on instruments." Using specially de\'eJoped "synthetic de\·ices," the), are teaching gunnery ('0 Ryers. They are serv­ing as aerographers (weather experts). operat­ing airport tower cont rols, hand ling the logging of Rights, preparing weather charts and doing other esscmial work of the Na\'ai air stations

which guard our seacoasts.

Work in hospi­tals, always consid­efed t he special sphere of women, is another popular field for WAVES, They afe serving as hospital apprentices and pharmac ist's mates, Moslc-fthose with experience as medical technicians or therapists are given advanced ratings when they complete training. All are working to ease the suffering and aid the reco\'ery of Navy men wounded or rendered ill on the world's fa r.fl ung b~ ltle fronts.

In addition 10 these special jobs. WA VES arc working as teachers, yeomen, welfare specialists, storekeepers, parachute riggers; in Na\'al headquar. ters, in the censorship office, the fleet post office, and at many ol her jobs ashore,

After six months' active service enlisted per· sonnel with ex~ptiona l qualifications may be rec­ommended for officer training by their commanding officer.

TELEPHONING FROM THE STATION

To help spc~d your long dislanc~ calls special Telephone Centers are located at 84 West 1971h Street, next door to Building D, and at 90 West 1951h Strttt, opposite Building L. A number of telephone booths at each Center are served through switchboards connecting directly with long distance centers.

The attendants at these Centers will be glad to handle your long distance calls, furnish rate and other information, make change and help you look up telephone numbers. Lounge facilities, magazines and writing materials arc provided at each Center. If your all is delayed, if! a com fortable place to wait.

To \'isil )'our assigned Telephone Center you should log out from your barrack and obtain a Sta· l ion Liberty Card. The lime of arriva l and departure

.-

will be checked at the Telephone Center. l llesc visits may be made during Quiet Hour.

Coin telephones are pro\'ided in rour barrack. P/eaJt IlIe Iheu ollly for Neu Y ork Cily and subpr­ball (alh, many of which you will dial direct without the help of an operator. Be sure to read the card in the booth telling you how to dial. For suburban points see the map on the outside of one of the

boths in rOUT barrack.

YOUR TElEPHONE SERVICE AND THE WAR

Your long distance calls from the Station or else­where must be handled over wires already o\'er­loaded by war calls - calls that help sp«d the training of men and women and the flow of ships, planes, guns and other weapons - and by the calls from thousands of service men and women to thei r homes and relati\'es.

W e afe doing our best to handle ever}' call as quickly as possible. Despite everything we can do, howe\'er, at times there just aren't enough lines to hand le all the calls without delay,

Ordinarily we woul d build more lines, but we can't do that in wartime because practically all tele-

"

phone manufacturing facil ities and manpower ha\'e been produci ng communications equipment for war.

Because you and rour shipmates and the hun­dreds of thousands of other service men and women are sharing the same lines, we hope rou will make rour a ils as brie£ as possible. TIle sooner you leave the telephone the sooner those waiting can get their calls through. By limiting )'our long distance a ils - to fi\'e minutes, say, at the most - you can help make room on crowded wires for calls that might not get th rough otherwise,

LONG DISTANCE CALLS

While on the Station make all/ollg JiJtal/U calls :u your assigned Telephone Center.

St .. t ion-to . Slotlon C .. II. _ If )'ou will talk with anyone who answers, make a /fatiOIl-to-JtatiOll call. Rates for these calls are the lowest, and you will usually get faster service. Just give the operator the cit)' or town and the telephone number. O]arges begin when anyone at the called number answers.

Pe rlon-Io- Pe r l on Coli. If rou wish to reach a part icular person, that is ;1 pustm.to-pUJOl1 call, Give the operator the city or town, the full name of the person and, if possible, the telephone number.

Th e rat e for thi s type of GIll is higher than for a station-to­stat ion cal l, and cllar,ges ~gin when the par­ticu lar person ans ..... ers.

(oll~t ( .. II . - If rou ..... ant your out-of-town call to go "collect," tell the operator so whtll yon plart il. If someone at the called telephone aJl!~S to accept the charges, you will ~ connected. Please don't ..... ait until after rou ha"e called to ask that the charges ~ reversed,

Incomlns C .. II. As it is difficult to locate you at so large a station, it is sugsested you tell your family to call you on ly in emergency. To help them rcad] you in emergency gi,'e them the number of the tele­phone marked " For Incom ing Calls," located in your barrack.

LONG DISTANCE RATES Reduced rates are in effect all day Sunday and

every night after 1800. These reduced rates do not apply on calls where the station ·to-station day rate is nc or less, So you need not wait until the e,'e­ning rush to call ne;1rby points,

Rates plus taxcs from New York City to anum· ber of cit ies are printed inside the back cover of this booklet , and also on a front page of the New York City telephone directories at public telephones.
