Today in Navy History:
Orlando Recruit Training Center, Florida – 50 Years ago today
Fifty years ago, James Cardamom, a northwest Georgia native, was drafted by the United States Navy.
On his first day in basic training, the Navy issued Recruit Cardamom a comb. That afternoon, the Navy barber shaved off all his hair.
On his second day in basic training, the Navy issued James a toothbrush. That afternoon, the Navy dentist yanked four wisdom teeth.
On his third day in basic training, the Navy issued James a jock strap.
As of today, the Navy has been looking for James for 50 years.
