If you had been 

 on the Arizona 





HERE she comes, homeward 

 bound, with "a bone in her 

 teeth," and a record for looking 

 into many strange ports in six 

 short months. 



If you had been one of her proud 

 sailors you would have left New York 

 City in January, been at Guantanamo, 

 Cuba, in February, gone ashore at Port 

 of Spain, Trinidad, in March and 

 stopped at Brest, France, in April to 

 bring the President home. In May the 

 Arizona swung at her anchor in the har- 

 bor of Smyrna, Turkey. In June she 

 rested under the shadow of Gibraltar 

 and in July she was back in New York 

 harbor. 



Her crew boasts that no millionaire 

 tourist ever globe-trotted like this. There 

 was one period of four weeks in which 

 the crew saw the coasts of North Amer- 

 ica, South America, Europe, Asia and 

 Africa. 



An enlistment in the navy 



gives you a chance at the education of 

 travel. Your mind is quickened by contact 

 with new people, new places, new ways of 

 doing things. 



Pay begins the day you join. On board 

 ship a man is always learning. There is 

 work to be done and he is taught to do it 

 well. Trade schools develop skill, industry 

 and business ability. Work and play are 

 planned by experts. Thirty days furlough 

 each year with full pay. The food is fine. A 

 full outfit of clothing is provided free. Pro- 

 motion is unlimited for men of brains. You 

 can enlist for two years and come out 

 broader, stronger, abler. "The Navy made 

 a man of me" is an expression often heard. 



Apply at any recruiting station if 

 you are over 17 . There you will get 

 tull information. If you can't find 

 the recruiting station, ask your 

 Postmaster. He knows.
