Instructors Enlisted under ex Heavyweight Champ, LCDR Gene Tunneys "Navy Physical Fitness" Program. On completion of training was promoted to the Special war time rank of "Chief Specialist" (SPC).
Other Memories It seems having Bob as the first famous celebrity to elist after the attack on Pearl Harbor made Bobs training full of "photo ops". He soon wanted out of the PT program and went to Gunnery Training.
