Navy Service
Schools

The opportunities for the ambitious
man in the naval service may be part
ly visualized by a glance at the list

In Washington, D. c., are located
the following schools: radio material,
optical, electrical. interior communi-
cations, primary fire control, advanced

Newport maintains aviation machin-
lists school, metalsmith schools.
aviation utility school, and aviation
ordnance school. Philadelphia has an
aviation instrument school. Pensacola
trains enlisted pilots with the result
that many aviation ratings sprout
coveted wings. Others become pho
tographers at Pensacola. Turning to
the West Coast we find the Mare
Island optical school near San Fran
cisco while the cooks, bakers, stenog-
raphers, hospital corpsmen's, torpedo
mems and gyro compass electricians
schools are located in San Diego. This
