[StartQuote] Thank you for the information you've posted. I get the impression that if someone did go through MTB training at Melville, it was after their initial basic training, and possibly after some specialized training as in Gus' case. I realize that some people were "volunteered" for PT duty after their deployment to a combat theatre. But for those who volunteered for PTs on their own, at what point were they given the chance to do so? When they initially enlisted in the Navy or after their completion of basic training? And does anyone know if the popular image of PTs during the war prompted more people to volunteer for them than were actually needed? Were a lot of people turned down for PT duty? C.
