Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve Training and Routine

Recruits are trained in naval drill, discipline, signaling, gunnery, and torpedo work, then assigned to watches aboard ships. Daily schedule includes washes, breakfast, divisions, prayers, drills, painting, and watch duties with Saturday half holiday and Sunday limited work. Recruitment continues across Canada.
