How I Learned To Type In The Navy From Watching The Movie
After I got out of boot camp, the navy sent me to Yeoman "A" School in Meridian Mississippi.
My new job was going to be a Yeoman, a person that takes care of officer service records, and we basically work for the admin office, and the Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer.
Before the navy is going to waste there time teaching you the right way to type up navy correspondence, and things like messages, and more, then want to teach you how to type first.
I remember when I was in high school, I was in a typing class, and I never learned to type anything, back then I told the teacher why would I ever need to type, and she gave me a D-, just so I would pass the class.
The navy was not as nice as Mrs.
Anderson was to me, when I was a kid in high school, and as a side mark, she was one of the hottest teachers in our school, all the guys talked about her.
In the navy, they put a class of people in front of a bunch of type writers, and then the put bond paper over your key board, with tape, so you can't see the keyboard, and then they start a movie, that seems like it is 2 weeks long.
You constantly watch the movie over and over, and it did teach me how to type, I had no choice.
In order to make it out of the typing class, you had to type a certain number of words per minute.
And just like anything, the more you do it, the better you get at it, just ask Tiger Woods! Each time you want to move up a pay grade as a Yeoman, you need to take a typing test, and each test means you have to be faster and faster.
Once you get into the actual fleet, on a ship, they don't care how fast you type, they know you passed the class, and to break in new people on the ship, they have a typing pool, and they might hand you a navy instruction book, and say, retype this book for us, with all the corrections someone highlighted and changed, or with yellow sticking note pads.
You retype lots of stuff in the navy.
