Navy Reservists Participate in "Crewman Boot Camp"
Department of Defense

Sailors from Navy Reserve Maritime Expeditionary Boat Detachment 421 conduct training aboard a 34-foot Sea Ark Navy security boat on the York River. The training was part of the detachment’s “Crewman Boot Camp,” to qualify the newly formed boat team on basic seamanship, weapons, first aid and small boat operations before an upcoming deployment.

Navy reservists attend the same Boot Camp as active-duty servicemembers, but continue training in locations closer to their home. Reservists may even be able to participate in “flexible drilling” that allows them to meet their service goals in a single mission or on weekdays.
