AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 3-20-2025

Hello, I'm Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films and um forget to mute the YouTube tab on our browser. Um, anyways, that was the 35 millimeter film, uh, Rabbits Grow, and it was, uh, distributed by Jam Handy. Uh, it's one of the few Jam Handy educational, uh, films that I've seen, uh, that are not that are aimed towards kids and not towards GM sales or, uh, service people. Uh, fascinating. All right. Well, we're on a animal tip right here. So, let's bounce ahead to the 1980s in Coronet with zoo animals in the wild. Baboons. Enjoy. Baboons. Baboons are monkeys, the biggest there are. They live mainly in Africa. They're ferocious animals, but if nobody bothers them, they don't bother anybody. Most monkeys live in trees, but not baboons. They spend most of their time on the ground. Baboons live together in large family groups that are called troops. The troop usually stays close together. It's safer that way. [Music] [Applause] [Music] The bigger baboons often act as guards and keep watch for danger. Young baboons learn by imitating the older ones. [Music] very young baboons are watched closely by their mother. It's easy to travel when mother does the walking for you. The baboon troop travels from place to place looking for food. While the older ones search, the younger ones play together. But the very young ones stay close to [Music] mother. Baboons, like other monkeys, pick bits of dead skin out of each other's fur. This is called [Music] grooming. Baboons eat the dead skin and also bits of salt that are there. Baboons seem to like being groomed. Usually, an older one will be groomed by a younger one. [Music] Baboons live on grassy plains where many other animals live. They often live among giraffes. Baboons on the ground can't see as far as giraffes can with their heads up in the trees. So, giraffes can usually tell if there's danger before baboons can. [Music] But baboons do spend some of their time in the trees. Sometimes there's food in trees, nuts and berries, insects, too. Baboons will eat just about anything, and they eat all day long. They do pretty well in trees. After all, they're monkeys. [Music] [Music] If a baboon gets a little tired of jumping from branch to branch, a tree can be a safe place for a nap. [Music] Baboons like tree sap and honey or anything sweet. Of course, since baboons spend most of their time on the ground, they do most of their eating down there. Baboons have a better sense of smell than most monkeys do. And they have pouches in their cheeks where they can store food. Other animals come to the water hole, so the baboons have to be careful. Leopards and lions are their main enemies. It seems safe here for now. [Music] The baboon has heard something. They'll all be gone before the lion gets to the water hole. [Music] Night is coming to the African plains where the baboons [Music] live. Some of them are up in the trees. Safe in the trees, the baboons are resting. Baboons. [Music] now. That's a nice tune. Um, let's see. What do we got next? Oh, yeah. Uh, many of you have been asking for more films about math, and so here's one for you. Graphic linear equations. Enjoy. From our study of arithmetic, we know that many problems can be solved with the help of graphs called statistical graphs. Statistical graphs include bar graphs, pictographs, circle graphs, and line graphs. In this film, we are going to learn to construct another kind of line graph called a mathematical line graph. This kind of graph will help us solve problems in algebra. Before we construct a mathematical line graph, let's review for a moment what we know of the statistical line graph. Let's start with this statistical line graph. It shows temperature at different times of the day. We know that in this graph, temperature is a changing quantity. We know that time is also a changing quantity. Since these two quantities vary, they are called variables. The relationship between the two variables is shown by the graph. This type of graph is useful to us in algebra to show relationships between variables. For example, look at this formula which is a very simple equation d= 100 t. This equation expresses a mathematical relationship between the two variables of distance and time for any object such as plane moving at a uniform rate of 100 mph. For each value of time, we can find the corresponding value of distance. This gives us many pairs of values. Each pair satisfies the relationship between the two variables. Yet only a few of these pairs can be shown in a table. To show a more complete picture of the relationship, we construct a mathematical line graph. These two perpendicular lines will represent the variables of time and distance. The point where they meet is marked show the origin of the lines. Then arrow heads are marked to show that the lines can be thought of as extending an endless distance away from their origin. on the horizontal line which we call the time axis a second point representing a unit of time of one arc. Then points two, three, four and five are marked to represent additional units of time. On the vertical line which we call the distance axis, a second point representing a unit of distance of 100 miles is marked. Then other points are marked on this axis to represent additional units of distance. These two axes together are called coordinate axes. Using these coordinate axes, we can graph the pairs of numbers that satisfy ship between the two variables in our equation. To graph the first pair of numbers, we use a pair of perpendicular lines to mark distances along the axes. One line goes through the point on the time axis representing a time of 1 hour. The other line goes through the point on the distance 100 miles. The point located by the intersection of the lines represents the ordered pair of numbers one and 100. These numbers are called an ordered pair because the order is as important as the numbers. The number along the horizontal axis is always written first. The number along the vertical axis is always written second. These numbers are called the coordinates of the point. They show the location of the point by means of the coordinate axes. In a similar way, we can graph other ordered pairs of numbers with other pairs of perpendicular lines. the points where the lines corresponding to the ordered pairs of numbers. In the same way, we can graph many other pairs of numbers that satisfy the relationship between the two variables. By adding more and more points whose coordinates have the same relationship, we will eventually for this line represents the group or set of all possible ordered pairs of numbers that satisfy the relationship between the two variables in our equation. This straight line shows what is referred to as a linear relationship from the word line with a r added linear. Linear relationships exist between the variables in equations such as these which we call firstderee equations. In a firstderee equation such as this one where y equ= 2x, the two variables can have positive or negative values. To graph negative values, we use axes which are extended past the zero point in opposite directions from the positive values. Negative values can then be represented in this opposite direction. Values of X are represented along the horizontal axis which is now called the X axis. Values of Y are represented along the vertical axis which is now called the Y ais. Now we can graph a negative pair of numbers such as -1 and -2. We use a pair of perpendicular lines to mark distances along the axes corresponding to these negative values in the same manner as with positive values. The point where these lines intersect represents the ordered pair -1 corresponding to the coordinate along the xaxis and -2 corresponding to the coordinate along the y ais. In a similar way, we can graph the many other ordered pairs of numbers that satisfy the relationship between the two variables. If we continue adding points, we will form the graph of our equation y = 2x. The graph shows a linear relationship. Linear relationships exist in all firstderee equations having two variables. Such equations are called linear equations. Notice that some linear equations include third terms that do not have variables. We may call these constant terms. In a given equation, their values do not change. Each of these equations may be expressed in the general form for linear equations. This general form is written y= ax + b. a stands for the coefficient of x. See the effect of constants on linear equations written in this general form. Let's look at the graph of our equation y = 2x. Adding a constant term such as 1 to the equation, we see that the graph intersects the yaxis at one. Adding two to the equation, the graph intersects the y-axis at two. Adding -1, the graph intersects at -1. We see that the value of a constant term in a linear equation determines the intersection of its graph with the yaxis. The graph also depends on the coefficient of x which is constant in any given equation. For example, let's change the coefficient to 1, then 12, then - one/2. We see that the coefficient of x in a linear equation written in the general form determines the slope of its graph. The graphs of all linear equations behave in the same way. So the principles we have learned for constructing this graph will help us in graphing other linear equations. As we gain practice in using line graphs, we will see how valuable they can be in helping us solve problems in algebra. [Music] Wow, that film was uh not very interesting. Uh but also was suffering from some pretty severe damage. I'm not sure exactly what was going on there. Um, but you could see this kind of vertical um kind of streaking um like like somebody like kind of had had their a bunch of ink or something and well not ink but something that just kind of like soap and they held soap on it. Uh and then the soundtrack got real wavy which tells me that the uh the film was shaky and maybe warped a little bit. All right. So, we've been watching the uh couple of films from Cornet that were made in 1980. One was about when you need a banker and one is, you know, when you need an insurance agent and this is meet a lawyer because you should know. So, they have a different title for some reason for this one, but it's the same people and our good friend is narrating again. So, let's see what hy jinks uh these people are up to today. [Music] [Music] Enjoy. Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey, what are you doing bringing that stuff here now? Can't you read the clock? It's almost quitting time. Hey, I just do what I'm told to do, Jackson. You want answers to questions? Ask Som. He runs this dump, not me. Hey, last day, huh, Tommy? Yeah. And if I never see this place again, it'll be too soon. What's going on here? What do you guys think you're doing? Uh, nothing, Mr. SS. I can see that, you dummy. But that isn't what I'm paying you to do. Now, get this truck moving, and you two get this stuff stacked now. Yes, sir. Pey, the only day you're better than Saturday, Sundays, and holidays. No doubt about it. I've got a good check coming, too. Sooms held back my first week's pay. So he owes me for three weeks and a lot of overtime [Applause] Smith Rutled Jackson Klein Thompson What's the matter, Tommy? My check's not right. I've got a lot more than this coming. Are you sure, Mr. S I I think someone's made a mistake on my check. Well, there's no mistake. Rupage Andrews Anderson Boswick. But this is only half what it should be. There's got to be a mistake. There's no mistake. You did a boy's work. I paid your boy's wages. I should have been doing it all summer. Remember, you're only 15 and you don't have a work certificate from the state. You should be glad I'm paying you anything. Now beat it. I worked as hard as anybody here and you know it. I said beat it. Get out of here. This isn't fair. You owe me more money. Take your hand off my arm. I need that money. You stupid little punk. You don't know when you're well off, do you? Come on, Mr. SS. What are you doing? He's just a kid. Butt out, Jackson. This is none of your business. Hey, look. I don't know if you owe him more money or not, but you shouldn't rough him up like this. You're fired, Jackson. Get out of here. And you you take that check and get out of here with him right now. But I said right now you you can keep this check. I want what you owe me. Come on, Jackson. Let's get out of here. You owe me money, S. I want my money. You're a creeps. I want Give me my money. Johnson, you can't fire me. I quit. Hey, what are you doing? No, don't do that. Now you've done it. Let's get out of here before he calls the cops. You better run. If I ever catch you around here again, I'll break your legs. See you, Tommy. Good luck, Jeff. Thanks. 5 minutes ago, Tommy's life was comparatively uncomplicated. Now he's suddenly faced with three big legal problems. His boss has broken their employment contract by refusing to pay his full salary. And Tommy may have broken the law by taking the job before obtaining a work certificate. And he now may be in deep trouble because of breaking Mr. S's window. Heat. Heat. That's you slamming the door. You scared me. Tom, [Music] are you all right? What's wrong? When Mr. Psalms gave me my check after work, it was only half of what he owes me. Half? Let me see the check. I didn't take it. I told him I want it all. You should have kept the check, Tom. What was the amount on the check he gave you? $420. He owes me $840. Did he say why he only gave you that much? He said I only did a boy's work and he was only going to give me a boy's wages. Then he threw me out and fired Jackson when he tried to help me. What? I'm going to call him. We'll get this straightened out right now. [Applause] He's probably gone already. We'll soon find out. Sausage Company. Hello. I'd like to speak to Mr. SS, please. This is SS. What can I do for you? Mr. SS, this is Peggy Rutled, Tommy's mother. He just told me that you refused to pay him this evening and that you actually threw him out of the building. I'd like to know. Wait a minute, Mrs. Rutled. That's a bunch of bull. I did pay him. But he says the amount on the check was only half of what you owe him. I paid him all he's going to get, and that's fine, lady. But listen, him and that friend of his, Jackson, threw a rock at my window and hit one of my machines, and he's going to pay for the damages or I'm going to call the cops. And another thing, he's only 15 and you let him work here all summer without a work certificate. That's against the law. And you and your kid could get into a lot of trouble for that. Well, you never told me he needed a work certificate. That's your problem, lady. Now I've told you how much she's going to get, minus the damages. Take it or leave it. You didn't bother to tell me about a broken window and damaged machine. I was mad. What are we going to do now? I don't know. Maybe we better find someone who can help us. Yes, Tommy and his mother do need help. They've tried to talk out their problem with SS, but it did no good. Now they must look to the legal system for help. In many states, it's possible to resolve problems like Tommy's in court without a lawyer by going to the prosay, small claims court. Prosay means for yourself without a lawyer. These courts handle cases involving relatively small amounts of money. They use simple rules of procedure which allow individuals to get speedy, inexpensive, and just resolution of small disputes without using a lawyer. Tommy's state has a prosay small claims court, but the maximum amount that can be recovered there is only $500. But sometimes it's not possible to solve a legal problem by yourself. Then it's usually necessary to get help from a lawyer. Wait a minute. Didn't your friend Frankie Carter's father have trouble collecting his money when he left his last job? I don't know, Mom. I think he did, though. You call his father up and ask him. And if he did, ask him for the name and telephone number of his lawyer. If you decide you need the services of a lawyer, it's important that you choose carefully. Tommy and his mother are relying on the recommendation of a friend who has had a similar problem, which is usually a very good way of selecting a lawyer. But there are other ways that should be considered as well. Many state and local bar associations have lawyer referral plans. Under these plans, the bar association will refer you to competent and reliable lawyers. One of these lawyers will consult with you without charge or for a small fee. And in some communities, there are legal clinics. These legal clinics can assist you on relatively simple matters at rates that are generally lower than those charged by individual lawyers or law firms. I'd like to make an appointment to see Mr. Clark, please. But if you can't afford to pay for the services of a lawyer, you may be eligible for free legal assistance. Legal aid offices provide legal services without cost or for a small fee. Let me do the talking, Tommy. I don't think we should say anything about the work certificate or the broken window. There's no sense muddying the water. Okay. Whatever you say, ma. Mr. Clark, this is Mrs. Rutledge and her son, Tommy. Good morning, Mrs. Rutled. How do you do, Tommy? Hello. Please have a seat. Would you like a cup of coffee? No, thank you. Now, what can I do for you? We're having trouble collecting Tommy's wages from his summer job. Mr. Clark, what seems to be the trouble, Tommy? Mr. SS, the man who owns the Always be honest with your lawyer. Tell him everything you know about the case. Even though it may not seem to be in your favor, and if you don't feel that you can trust or have confidence in the lawyer you've chosen, don't waste your time or money. Find another lawyer. I tried to talk to Mr. SS on the phone, but he hung up on me. We don't know what to do now. Well, based on what you've told me, I think there's a good chance we can reach a settlement with Mr. SS. I think we should try. However, I can't guarantee anything. Well, I understand. I think we want you to do what you can. Okay, I'll get right on it. Mr. Clark, I don't know how much you charge for something like this. Will it cost very much? Mr. SS only owes Tommy $840. My fee for a case like this is $35 an hour. And based on what you've told me, I don't think it will take more than one and a half to two hours of my time. Now, if Mr. Sols is not cooperative, it may be necessary to take the case to court. That will involve more of my time and some court costs. However, I'll explain and discuss any additional charges with you before they're incurred. It's good that Mrs. Rutled is asked about fees. Fees should always be discussed with your lawyer on the very first visit to his office. Many lawyers adjust their fees according to the client's ability to pay. And if it seems that the lawyer's fee is too high, check with other lawyers to find out what they would charge. Fees for the same service may vary from lawyer to lawyer. So, it's one factor you should use in choosing a lawyer. How long do you think it'll be before we have an answer? Well, that depends. I should know something by the middle of next week. If I have no problem getting in touch with Mr. PS, I feel much better now. Thank you very much, Mr. Clark. I'll keep in touch. And if anything new develops, please let me know. Goodbye, Mrs. Rottage. Tommy, goodbye. Good morning. May I speak to Mr. PS, please? My name is Jim Clark. I'm a lawyer and I represent Tommy Rutled. I prefer to discuss this matter with him. If he's too busy to speak to me now, I'd be glad to call back or he can return my call when he's free. Yes, I'll wait. This is SS. What do you want? My name is Jim Clark. Mr. Mr. Psalms, I represent Tommy Rutled and I'd like to I don't care who you are, buddy, or who you represent. I don't have anything to say to you. Mr. Psalms, this could be a very serious matter. I'd advise you to have your lawyer call me as soon as possible. I don't need a lawyer to deal with that little punk or with you either. Mr. Psalms, I'm sure you don't want this to end up in court any more than we do. You really should have your lawyer call me. My number is 9. When did this letter from the Rutled kids lawyers show up? This afternoon, a special delivery. [Applause] This is Mr. Clark's office. Mr. Clark would like to speak with Mr. PS, please. I see. Well, will you ask Mr. SS to return the [Music] call? Sausage Company. It's Tommy Rutled's lawyer. I'm sorry. He's not in now. Here, retype this. There's been a problem with the case. Mr. PS is not cooperating. He won't answer my phone calls or respond to my letters. But I have called the State Department of Labor to see if you could file a complaint against SS with them. It's something you should consider. They'll handle Tommy's complaint without any charge. However, they're running 6 months to a year behind in processing claims right now. I don't think we want to do that. That's too long. Mrs. Rutled is trapped. She doesn't want to have any contact with the State Department of Labor. Tommy has been working all summer without a work certificate, and she doesn't want to have them find out about it. And because she hasn't been honest with Mr. Clark, she can't explain her refusal to accept this useful service. So, she's using the delay as an excuse. If SS isn't responding, what do we do now? He isn't giving us any choice. We're going to have to consider filing a lawsuit. However, I still hope I can get him to settle before we go to trial. But wouldn't that take a lot of time and a lot of money, too? It could take several months. And with my fee, the court cost, and the filing fee, it could cost 1/3 to 1/2 of Tommy's total claim, depending on whether or not I can get SS to settle or we have to go to trial. That's why it may be a good idea to handle this whole matter through the state department of labor. Or you might consider handling the case yourself without a lawyer in small claims court. Because when my fee, the court cost, and the filing fees are deducted, Tommy could end up with the same amount in our lawsuit that he could get by himself in small claims court. However, in any settlement I negotiate with SS, I would ask that he pay these fees. Mr. Clark has done the right thing in suggesting these alternatives. He has a responsibility to act competently and honestly on behalf of his client. If he doesn't, he may be disciplined by the court or sued by his client for malpractice. I don't know what we should do. Why are you so reluctant, Mrs. Rutledge? I don't know. I mean, it could take a lot of time and cost a lot of money. It's up to you, of course, but I think you should follow through on your claim either by going to the Department of Labor or filing suit in court. I don't know. All right. Guess you better go ahead and file suit against him. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mr. SS, but this gentleman has something for you. Are you Wilbur SS? Yes. This is for you, sir. What is it? It's a summon for illegal action, Mr. Stone. That Tommy Rutled thing. Mr. Clark's office. Yes, he is. I'll tell him you're on the phone. Mr. SS, Mr. Clark. Mr. SS is on the line. Thank you. Good morning, Mr. SS. What can I do for you? You can call off the dogs. That's what you can do for me. I'll pay the Rutled kid what he says I owe him. But you tell that little punk that I'm deducting the $118 in damages he caused when he threw that rock at my window. Where do you want me to send the check? If my client accepts, you should send it to me. But first, I have to explain your offer to Tommy and his mother. It's their decision. Frankly, Mr. Psalms, I think they'd be more likely to accept your offer if you were to pay their lawyer's fees and filing fees in court. Oh, no way, buddy. You tell him. I'll give him the $840 less than $118 in damages, but that's it. And I don't want to hear any more about it. Those damages would have come out during trial. So, your lack of honesty could have proven disastrous to our case. You should have told me about the broken window. Is there anything else you haven't told me? Well, yes. Tommy is only 15 and he's been working there all summer without a work permit. Mr. S told us we could get into a lot of trouble. I was afraid to tell you. That's why you were so reluctant to get in touch with the Department of Labor. It doesn't work that way, Mrs. Rutled. Anything you would have told me would have been strictly confidential information. I couldn't have told anyone else. Anyway, to get back to business, PS has agreed to settle for the $840 less the damages. He says he won't pay any of my fee or the filing fees in court. that if he knew that Tommy was underage and still allowed him to work without a work certificate, the blame for that is pretty evenly distributed. He did know. Tommy told him the first day he went to work there. In that case, I think I can get him to pick up at least part of my fee and the other expenses. But it's up to you, Tommy. It's your money. I really need the money for some school clothes and to buy my motorcycle if there's enough left. If you could get him to pay part, I think that would be great. Good. I'll see what I can do. I think it might turn out all right. One of the most important jobs of our legal system and lawyers, too, is to help you resolve your disputes peacefully, quickly, and justly. And in most cases, it works if you know how to make the best use of it. We've told you a few ways you can cope with the legal system. First, by trying to talk out your problem. And second, if that doesn't work, by trying to handle the problem yourself in small claims court, or through an inexpensive legal clinic, if you have one in your town, or by finding out if you're eligible for free legal service. And finally, if you decide you can't handle the problem yourself, we've told you how to find, hire, and use a lawyer when you need professional help. We've told you these things because this information is important to you as a potential consumer of legal services and because you should know Heat. Heat. So that kid looks so familiar to me. It's John Pancow who was in a bunch of stuff. Um he was in live and to live and die in LA. He was in I feel like he was in television some series as well. Um let's see. He was on an episode of Miami Vice. He was in Rambo First Blood part two. Um he was in a bunch of little things here and there. H All right. He was in the show Episodes. He was in Mad About You. That's how I know him. Mad About You. All right, there we go. Uh, plays a secondary character because I was like, man, that face, it looks so familiar. Um, yeah, we don't have any more that we found in this series, but hopefully we will. Maybe there'll be one about a plumber. All right, here's a film. We've been doing stuff with uh some materials from the National Archives and this one uh bubbled up. We like it. This is Navy Man. Enjoy. [Music] [Music] Up. Hey. Hey. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Okay, everybody, let's sing it. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Take them up. Three, four, three, four. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 Attention on deck. Good morning, sir. Cotton Seaman Recruit Company 361 front door watch reporting. Sir, carry on deck. Carry on. Carry on. Pass it on deck. Carry on. Attention on deck. [Music] Attention on deck. Hurry on. My mother should see me now. She What's he doing here? Your single fold is double fold. All right. Now, we're going to jump down to our peac coat. You make sure the waistband of that peac coat is down and towards your blankets. Next is your deck chief. You make sure that open end is to the left. Check it. Make sure it's lined up with your peacicoat. Now your hat. You make sure the open end on that hat is to the left. The name can be read from the foot of the bunk. Watson, how many times have I told you to get those trousers set right now? You're not thinking. You go to work and stop thinking. Now we're going to get down to that towel. You make sure the [Music] [Music] rough test this Excuse me. Can you tell me where I would find my son? Yes, sir. Right over there. Now, thank you. Thank you. In just a moment, I'm going to show you the backbone of the United States Navy. And what you see will be of real interest to you. Should the day ever come when it's not, you will, in effect be losing interest in your families, your homes, and your country. You see, this is where they train the young Americans who man the guns and sailor ships that safeguard your freedom by effectively controlling the seven seas. This is the naval training center and this is the story of the [Music] [Applause] men. Yes, this is the naval training center. the heart and core of the United States Navy. And this is the big day, graduation. From here each week flows the lifeblood of the fleet. The men, the future sailors of the United States Navy. Men who have left the rumbling of the city with its skyscrapers and the farms with their wrestling fields of corn to become a part of the greatest navy the world has ever known. Men who have come here to win the right to wear a uniform that has never lost a war. The rev turned its back on an enemy. To develop these young men into this finished product took a minimum of 17 years of love, care, and guidance for both parents and teachers, as well as the few months spent here at the training center. So you can better appreciate these young men who have dedicated their lives to protect your freedom, let's take a tour of the training center and see how these men are transformed into sailors. The training center you will see is a composite of the training centers located at Bainbridge, Maryland, San Diego, California, and Great Lakes, Illinois. Okay, fellas. What are you trying to do? Waste of taxpayers money? Come on, let's go. Having left civilian life behind, a recruit finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings. One man to each square. All right, keep moving. Shake a leg there on the double. Now, put your gear down on the deck. All right, put it right there at your feet. Let's throw it. Now, today you may surroundings in which he is governed by a new code of regulations where old words and phrases by a new meaning. All right, knock off that skyline back there. Come on up here and bring that magazine with you. What's the matter with you? Are you a baby or something? Give me that magazine. Do you want to get treated like a baby or get treated like a man? Like a man? Well, then start acting like a man. Now get back in your place and listen to what I'm going to say from now on because what I'm going to say is important. The men are given thorough medical and dental [Music] examinations. With equipment like this, their teeth are thoroughly checked, and where needed, complete dental care is given to each and every man. Dental and medical care that will continue for the remainder of their stay in the Navy. After this, a recruit is measured from head to toe and issued his outfit of Navy uniforms and clothing. By now, many of you men are probably confused. I'll try to tell you what lies ahead. Today, you're being formed into company 178. From now on, you will be part of a team, a closely knit team. Now, this is your company commander, handpicked by the Navy to mold you into qualified sailors. Before I turn you over to him, I want to impress upon you how important he'll be in your progress and welfare while you're here. If they were never impressed with the part the company commander plays in their welfare that first day, they are in the weeks to come. Stand up straight, Gobble. Get those shoulders back. Smith, a dirty white hat. Very good, Hunt. You'll make good recruit petty officer material there. Just give you Pasco. Very good, Able. Not too good, Stokes. You got spots on that jumper. Your neck's dirty, too. Step out here. When did the last time you took a shower? Last week. Last week. Get your gear and get in there and take a shower now. Yes. It's up to this man to turn these 70 individuals with different backgrounds into a closelyknit team. A team that will live together, eat together, study together, march together, and learn [Music] together. It's up to this company commander to mold these men into a team capable of competing as a unit against other companies. A team that realizing the need will develop its own [Music] leaders to the recruit. These barracks will be his home. In addition to sleeping here, this is where he will spend a considerable portion of his time. Here he learns to live with others, to take care of himself and his belongings. [Music] And in these barracks, he learns the need for companionship, for mail from home, and for amusement and relaxation. [Music] Erie will also acquire the habit of writing letters and of budgeting his spare time. See you later, Charlie. We got a game in the gym with company 128. As the weeks pass, a recruit learns how to handle, clean, and shoot a [Music] rifle. He learns how to accept responsibility and to carry out instructions both instantly and unhesitatingly, whether on a Navy gun crew or just flemishing a line. During this period, recruits are taught that the advancement in the Navy is through promotion and that these promotions are generally determined by the quality of work, examination grades, and the demonstrated abilities of the individual. You don't have to be a brain. All the Navy expects of you is to use the brain you have. Why the average man sitting in this room right now, if he applies himself, can advance himself from the rate he now holds up to and including the rate of chief petty officer in approximately 12 to 14 years of Navy service. In addition to the prestige and the privileges of chief petty officer, it will assure you of a much better billhold. And men, your pay does not stop when you retire. Take myself for example. Next year, I will complete 20 years of naval service and retire. Each month thereafter, I will receive a check of $152 for the rest of my life. And then, my Navy training has prepared me for a good job in civilian life. Through other lectures and movies similar to this one, the recruits learn something about this alpha to which they now belong. Level your guns. Dig out your champions. Handle crows and hand spikes. Level your guns at the object. Fire. Do you surrender? Never. They learned that only by giving their all were the men of the Navy able to slash their way through the pages of history. [Music] We have met the enemy. They are ours. Chef off the starboard tile. Sir, [Music] [Applause] pour it on the boys. Don't bother with a rig. Shoot low. Her hull her. Unbelievable as it sometimes seemed, it was through the heroic and gallant actions of these men that our country and our navy survived. Don't give up the ship. The discipline, the training, and the obedience to orders had paid off. Whether aboard the USS Gerier in the choppy Bay of Aliers or behind guns booming in the South Pacific in World War II or even more recently, North Korea. It was the men that made the United States Navy what it is today. [Music] Here they [Music] come. This is for Pearl [Music] Harbor. You lousy backups. [Music] Come to papa. Come to papa. We have not yet begun to fight. All America is proud of you. Thank you, Mr. President. Through other lectures and movies, the Navy explains how the recruit may volunteer for special duty as well as foreign assignments. The Navy explains to them how they with the proper qualifications may become eligible for orders to study at the Naval Academy Preparatory School to prepare them for an appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, or to qualify for one of the many other programs available to them to advance from seaman to admiral. [Music] In addition to naval customs and ceremonies, the training center makes sure that every recruit spends some time acquiring the proper appreci Appreciation for the routine and practical side of life aboard [Music] ship. While in the advanced stages of his training, the center prepares him for every emergency, from fighting fires, the dread of seaman at sea, to saving the life of his shipmate or his very own. Although the men have rather full schedules, there is always time for relaxation. And they soon discover that the training center has facilities for just about everything from playing ball and building models to catching up on the latest [Music] books and dance steps with friends they have met since they've been in the service. [Music] On weekends who are not on liberty or on watch, the men are encouraged to have visitors and to acquaint their guest firsthand with a training [Music] center. In addition to a full religious program, the Navy conducts a special character guidance program. Taking over where the family left off, this program develops to the fullest the moral concepts common to all faiths. seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trembling out the vage where the grace of ra the faithful lightning of his terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Glory, glory, hallelu. His truth is maring. I have seen him in the watch of a hundling. They have built him an altar in the evening dooms and dams. I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps. His day is maring on. Glory glory hallelu. Glory glory hallelu. Glory glory hallelu. This truth is maring on. [Music] [Music] In the beauty of the liies, Christ was born across the sea. with the glor that you and me. As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free. Our God is maring on. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Glory, glory, hallelujah. Glory, glory, [Applause] hallelujah. His truth is [Music] mighty. [Applause] Amen. To see that each man is assigned to the right job upon completion of recruit training. Teams of highly qualified classification personnel screen everyone thoroughly. [Music] Through a series of tests, the man's general educational aptitudes, his mechanical, and his mathematical aptitudes are brought to light. By careful interview, the Navy discovers his personal desires. With all these factors known, finding the spot into which the recruit will readily and easily fit in the best interest of the Navy is relatively simple since there are more than 60 different technical ratings and job specialties for any man qualified. Chief P officer of the auto company. Watch your company front and center. Out of the 75 men who started in this company which you see graduating today, 27 of them will leave directly for service and job training in the fleet. Seven others will be assigned to various shore stations such as airfields or naval operating bases. [Music] 38 of the company will be assigned to technical schools located at one of the three training centers or at other shore installations. Here they will join others returning from the fleet under orders to be trained in a wide variety of technical skills leading to greater responsibility in the [Music] Navy. At some of these schools, the men will study to become electronics technicians, journalists, fire control, and [Music] machinist. At other schools, the men will be required to master such fields as communications, the clerical duties of ymen, guided missiles, or the operation of the boilers and machinery to be found in the engine room of a ship. While some learn to care for the teeth and the human [Music] body, others concentrate on taking care of the miles of involved piping systems found in the bowels of fighting ships. To keep our Navy the best fed Navy in the world, there are special schools to train commissary men, butchers and stewards. At some of the training centers, the men will study in new buildings. At others, much older ones. But whether new buildings are old, all schools employ the latest training aids, devices, and educational techniques. Company honor man for company 124 is seaman recruit Jerry Sandler, Beloxy, Mississippi. So, as the men in the graduating companies look forward with anticipation to their future assignments, the graduation review draws to a close with the awarding of certificates to the company honormen and the presentation of the American Spirit Medal. Busted man who in the opinion of his officers and shipmates has displayed the outstanding qualities of leadership best expressing the American spirit. honor, initiative, loyalty, and a high example to comrades in arms. It's our extreme pleasure to present this medallion to Thomas Dixon Greer, Felton, Delaware. Chaplain Goodman will now give the benediction. Let us pray. Almighty God, eternal father, we earnestly pray that thou wilt to receive into thy protection and care these men who are about to go forth to defend justice and freedom. Grant that the discipline and training they have received here may fit them to serve their country worthily. Give them strength in every trial and temptation, courage to face all danger, and loyalty to their loved ones at home, that they in return may know the joy of faithful love. Teach them to serve thee, O Lord, and to honor their shipmates. Teach them also to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wound, to work and not to seek reward. And always keep alive in their hearts an adventurous spirit to make them worthy of the courageous souls who in every age have ventured all in obedience to thy call and the call of country. [Music] This we ask of you dear God. Amen. And [Music] then review. And then the moment they have been waiting [Music] for. As they pass this reviewing stand, the hardening up process will be behind them. And before them, opportunities unlimited. [Music] [Applause] [Music] So, it looks like Hollywood helped a little bit with that. Um, Warner Brothers Pictures 1956. There you go.
