Navy

             When the Colonist started the fight for our independence in the spring of 1775, there was no such thing as the Navy. When New England's warships blocked off Boston and New York harbors there was no way of breaking the blockade. .
             As years passed our Navy grew stronger and has become what is thought to be the most important and powerful branch of the military. Almost a century ago the Navy promised anybody who would join much adventure and a chance to travel and see the world they give you just that and more today.
             The Navy requires its recruits to have a High school diploma and be in great physical condition. If given permission one can join at the age of 17 otherwise u need to be at least 18 and no older then 34. Many of the jobs offered in the Navy are just like those offered to you as a civilian. As far as basic training goes it last around eight to nine weeks long and begins with shots, haircuts the women must not have hair past the shoulders and when they are done with the men there isn't much left to do anything with.
             Basic training will be the beginning of a whole to life style of every recruit most make it there are some that wont but one that first morning at four thirty am they will realize what they signed up for. They will experience discipline they never before have early to rise and quick to bed lights out be ten.
             Navy standards are high from the start, all recruits will learn to obey orders, to be on time for formations, to wear proper uniform and be ready for anything. In boot camp everybody will learn basic survival techniques and must be able to prove to the Navy that they can swim well and stay afloat for long periods at a time. Graduates of boot camp will move on to class A service schools to learn more on their picked jobs.
