Navy recruiting in the Long Beach area operates on a waiting-list basis, with Chief Harry J. Todd of the Long Beach Navy Recruiting Station reporting that the number of men processed quickly depends on available quarters at Naval Training Centers. The Los Angeles Navy recruiting district, including Long Beach, enlists over 225 men weekly, mostly aged 17 to 23, with older enlistees largely World War II veterans re-enlisting. The rate is tied to training capacity, and Camp Elliott’s reopening in San Diego has aided higher intake.
