To: Commanding Officers, Navy V~12 Units. Subj: PT-1 for Seventh V-12 Term —- Scheduling of. 1. With few exceptions, the quotas for V-12 Units for the 1 July 1945 term will include a considerable number of first-year, first-term students. These trainees will be scheduled for PT-1, the basic physical training program. 2. Now that most of the Units have only two specialists (A) on board, it is important that the basic physical training sections be scheduled at different class hours from the maintenance training sections. 3. It is suggested that the necessity for the separation of basic and maintenance groups be called to the attention of the college scheduling officers in order that this may be considered in drawing *? over-all schedules. &- The importance of scheduling physical training as an integral part of the total schedule should be emphasized. A satisfactory physical training schedule cannot be superimposed on an academic schedule which has already been laid out. At many Units it will be possible to construct the entire schedules for the new trainees in solid groups of twenty (20) to thirty (30) each. /s/ G. M. Jones G. M. Jones, By direction.
